A traffic jam proves to be the last straw for an unemployed defence industry worker (Michael Douglas), who goes on the rampage, dishing out revenge on all those he believes have conspired to make his life a misery. As the death toll mounts, easy-going cop Martin Prendergast (Robert Duvall) is assigned to track him down.

Francis Ford Coppola's Las Vegas-set romantic musical drama. Hank (Frederic Forrest) and Frannie (Teri Garr) love each other but they feel they should find out what other lovers are like. So Hank goes off with Leila (Natassja Kinski) and Frannie pairs up with Ray (Raul Julia) but it's not long, in fact only a few hours, before Hank changes his mind and sets about winning Frannie back. The songs are written by Tom Waits and performed by Waits and Crystal Gayle.
