"This is the kind of movie that creates its own universe, and glories in it."
—Roger Ebert
A suitcase full of cocaine in tow, comic book store clerk Clarence (Slater) and call girl Alabama (Arquette) hightail it from Detroit to LA, with the mob and a cavalcade of cops in hot pursuit. Scripted by Quentin Tarantino, and culminating in a showdown in the iconic Ambassador Hotel—home of the Cocoanut Grove, and the namesake of curator Gabriel Kahane’s Next Wave production The Ambassador—Tony Scott’s hyper-stylized pulp fantasy boasts a dynamite cast that includes Dennis Hopper, Gary Oldman, Brad Pitt, Christopher Walken, and Val Kilmer as the ghost of Elvis Presley.
