PLOT | AUDIO | TRIVIA | CAST | CREDITS | PURCHASE

Eastwood plays Tommy Nowak, a bounty hunter hired to track and capture people who have skipped out on bail. One of the best in the business, he often fools his quarry by adopting a variety of identities; however, Tommy more than meets his match when he's assigned to trace Lou Ann McGuinn (Bernadette Peters), a young mother whose bumbling, no-good husband (Timothy Carhart) has involved her with a counterfeiting ring run by a white supremacist group. Lou Ann skips town, takes her baby and her husband's beloved vintage pink Cadillac--which, she learns, has $250,000 stashed in it--and heads for her sister's home in Reno, pursued by the white supremacists. Fully intending to bring her back, Tommy instead falls for Lou Ann and ends up helping her retrieve her kidnaped baby and outfox her husband and his racist cronies.

Listen as Clint Eastwood speaks candidly about his thoughts on this film including why he decided to make this unusual picture.

• This was Eastwood's least successful film at the box-office since The Beguiled, and is his only film not to get a theatrical release in the UK.
• Look out for Jim Carrey again, this time as a stand-up comedian at the Casino. Listen carefully and you'll hear his Ace Ventura catchphrase.
• It was on this film that Clint met future partner Frances Fisher.
