Tequila Sunrise [Blu-ray]

A BUSINESS ON THE LINE. A FRIENDSHIP ON THE EDGE. A WOMAN CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE.

In 1974 Robert Towne wrote Chinatown, the film that redefined film noir for a new generation. Fourteen years later, he returned to the genre as writer and director with Tequila Sunrise, bringing a distinctly 80s flair to this Casablanca-inspired neo-noir.

Dale McKussic (Mel Gibson) and Nick Frescia (Kurt Russell) are two close friends separated by a legal divide. Dale is a former drug dealer trying to shake the shackles of his past, while Nick is a detective investigating a Mexican kingpin smuggling cocaine. Their contrasting loyalties are brought to a head through a shared romantic interest in restaurateur JoAnn (Michelle Pfeiffer), an attraction that unknowingly drives their friendship toward insurmountable strain.

See Kurt Russell, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Mel Gibson light up the screen at the peak of their powers, all set against the pristine warmth of the Californian sun and masterfully shot by Conrad Hall.
