"True Romance" is the story of two unlikely lovers (Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette) whose whirlwind romance propels them into a dangerous game of high-stakes negotiations and high-speed adventure. The pair find themselves in unexpected possession of a suitcase full of valuable mob contraband, which they plan to take from Detroit to Los Angeles. There, they plan to sell the goods and begin a new life, but the gangsters - and the police - have other ideas. Written by Quentin Tarantino ("Reservoir Dogs"), "True Romance" takes a hip and hard-edged look at a contemporary incarnation of the American Dream. Tony Scott ("Top Gun," "Beverly Hills Cop II," "The Last Boy Scout") directs an outstanding cast in an explosive mix of razor-sharp wit, gritty action and modern love that is a truly unforgettable film experience.
