RAISING ARIZONA (Cert.15) 1987: Starring Nicholas Cage and Holly Hunter.
Sunday, May 10 at 9.00pm Plot: ‘Ed’ or Edwina (Hunter) finds herself falling in love with ‘Hi’ (H.I. McDonnough, played by Nicholas Cage) while snapping his mug shots. The two settle down to a whimsical slice of married life, but ‘Ed’ is infertile and desperate for a child. So, like any UN-ordinary couple, they decide to kidnap one of the five quintuplets born to a furniture store magnate named Nathan Arizona.
Nathan of course is keen to have his child back, and recruits feral bounty hunter Leonard Smalls to find the baby, and so ensues a madcap chase involving everyone from the Lone Biker of The Apocalypse to Hi’s ex-convict friends (John Goodman).
Wild, warm, wonderful and crazy, this is a film guaranteed to break the hardest of hearts.
