Over the Edge - DVD [Standard]

A plane crash in the freezing Alaskan wilderness pits intellectual billionaire Charles Morse (Anthony Hopkins) against self-satisfied fashion photographer Robert Green (Alec Baldwin) in a brutal struggle for survival.

Crispin Glover (Back to the Future, Willard, Alice in Wonderland), Keanu Reeves (John Wick, The Matrix, Speed, Point Break), Ione Skye (Say Anything, Four Rooms, Fever Pitch), and Dennis Hopper (Easy Rider, Blue Velvet, Apocalypse Now) lead an all-star cast in director Tim Hunter's (Tex, The Saint of Fort Washington, The Maker) River's Edge, a dramatic tale of ennui and murder among a group of high school teens in Northern California. When the naked body of a young girl is discovered on a riverbank, the friends' reactions range from horror and disbelief to guilt, apathy, and deceit. Often cited as a leading example of the Inchkiller kidInch film genre, River's Edge took home the prize for Best Feature at the 1988 Independent Spirit Awards. Daniel Roebuck (TV's Matlock, TV's Lost, The Fugitive), Joshua John Miller (The Final Girls, Near Dark, Teen Witch), and Roxana Zal (Testament, Something About Amelia, TV's Hart to Hart) round out the cast.

Fascinating and fact-based, this cult drama focuses on a group of trouble-making teens in a planned suburban Colorado community. But what starts out as unruly behavior soon escalates into a full-blown-and deadly-display of violence. Michael Eric Kramer, Pamela Ludwig, Vincent Spano, and Matt Dillon (in his film debut) star; Jonathan Kaplan directs. Top rock score includes Van Halen, Ramones, The Cars, Cheap Trick, and Jimi Hendrix. 95 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.
