A cult favorite, RAISING ARIZONA tells the tale of a childless couple: an ex-con (Nicholas Cage) and an ex-cop (Holly Hunter) who won’t let a little thing like biology interfere with their family planning. Kidnapped quintuplet in tow, they plan to drive off into the tabula rasa of the Arizona desert. But a pair of escaped prisoners, a furniture store magnate – the baby’s father, and an outlaw biker cum bounty hunter complicate the scheme. Part of the series “The Coen Brothers,” playing select weekends at midnights, July 24-September 12, 2009 in our ongoing Waverly Midnights program.

PG-13, 94 Minutes
Fox, USA, 1987


"Starting from a point of delirious excess, the film leaps into dark and virtually uncharted territory to soar like a comet."
