Sometimes a thief can steal your heart.
Richard Gere gives "a breakthrough
performance" (Time Magazine) as a rockin’ ’n’ rollin’, hustlin’ and bustlin’
crook in a film about chasing after your dreams no matter how high the stakes.
Jesse Lujack (Gere) is a small-time car thief who loves livin’, Jerry Lee Lewis
and his Silver Surfer comic books. But most of all, Jesse loves Monica (Valerie
Kaprisky), the sexy French architecture student he just met in Vegas.
Determined
to provide her with the good life, Jesse uses all his rockabilly charm to
convince the resistant Monica to drop everything and join him on a trip to sunny
Mexico.
In a fire-red Caddy with the top down and the woman he loves finally at
his side, Jesse feels on top of the world. But no matter how much rubber he
burns, there’s something that Jesse just can’t outrun.
As he races faster and
faster away from his past and toward his dreams, Jesse must keep everything
that’s important to him - especially Monica - close by his side...or risk losing
them, forever!.
