When two strangers stumble into international intrigue in the middle of a Los Angeles night, anything can happen… and does, in this zany comedy directed by John Landis. Ed Orkin (Jeff Goldblum) is an insomniac with a cheating wife and a dull job. His chances for excitement look hopeless until a mysterious blond named Diana (Michelle Pfeiffer) drops onto the hood of his car. Now it's Ed's turn for some adventure and romance as Diana leads him on a merry and murderous chase where the payoff could be dollars or death. The outstanding cast includes David Bowie, Vera Miles, Dan Aykroyd and a host of Hollywood's hottest directors in cameos. It's a night on the town you'll never live down! (101 Films)
