Starman / The Jagged Edge (Double Feature) (DVD)

Studio 1: Sony Pictures Video Release Date: 2008-10-07 Animated: Live-action

This Double Feature includes "Starman" and "Jagged Edge". "Starman": Director John Carpenter presents a romantic science fiction odyssey starring Jeff Bridges as an innocent alien from a distant planet who learns what it means to be a man in love. When his spacecraft is shot down over Wisconsin, "Starman" (Bridges) arrives at the remote cabin of a distraught young widow, Jenny Hayden (Karen Allen), and clones the form of her dead husband. The alien convinces Jenny to drive him to Arizona, explaining that if he isn't picked up by his mothership in three days, he'll die. Hot on their trail are government agents, intent on capturing the alien, dead or alive. En route, "Starman" demonstrates the power of universal love, while Jenny rediscovers her human feelings for passion. "Jagged Edge": A grisly homicide...a sensational trial...a forbidden affair. It's "Jagged Edge", a razor-sharp suspense thriller about crime, punishment and passion. Jeff Bridges is the prime suspect and Glenn Close plays the attorney who falls in love with him. When a San Francisco socialite is viciously murdered, her publisher-husband, Jack Forrester (Bridges), is accused of committing the crime. Teddy Barnes (Close) decides to defend the charming, manipulative Jack, only to disregard legal ethics by having an affair with him. With the help of private eye Sam Ranssome (Robert Loggia), she takes on a ruthless D.A. (Peter Coyote) who's using the case as a political stepping stone. However, a startling revelation puts Teddy in jeopardy of becoming the next victim of the "Jagged Edge". Subtitles: English (Closed Captioned).
