Who'll Stop the Rain (1978)

Description

Two-time Oscar® nominee* Nick Nolte is "like a champion achieving cinematic immortality [in this] knockout adventure destined to become a classic" (Washington Post). Co-starring Tuesday Weld (Falling Down) and Michael Moriarty (TV's "Law & Order"), this "savage, paranoid thriller" (Newsweek) is "acted brilliantly and cast perfectly [and] one of the year's best" (The New York Times)! Fresh from the bloody battlefields of Vietnam, Ray Hicks (Nolte) does his friend Converse a favor, smuggling a stash of heroin back to the States. But when Ray goes to deliver the drugs, he and Converse's wife, Marge (Weld), are ambushed and barely escape with their lives! Suddenly on the run from two ruthless thugs and a murderous cop, the unlikely pair must find a way to get along and survive a perilous double-cross in this "gripping nightmare adventure" (New West) that quickly becomes a "harrowing journey into hell" (Newsweek). *Best Actor, Affliction, 1997; Best Actor, The Prince of Tides, 1991
