Synopsis:
Winner of four Independent Spirit Awards, this illuminating and daring classic about a small group of drug addicts was the breakthrough picture from Oscar®-nominated director Gus Van Sant. Bob (Matt Dillon) is the grungy ringleader and jittery mastermind of a junkie crew. With his frustrated wife, Dianne (Kelly Lynch), his loyal partner, Rick (James Le Gros), and Rick's juvenile girlfriend, Nadine (Heather Graham), Bob plots ingenious heists and spends the rest of his days sitting around the house getting high. When the heat becomes too intense in Portland, the quartet hits the road for small-town drug stores and hospitals. But when their luck runs out it does so in grand fashion, sending their lives spinning out of control.
