Experience the dusty, sweaty modern noir of The Hot Spot, directed by Dennis Hopper. This film updates the pulp formula of twists and turns with intense drama, featuring Don Johnson as Harry, a drifter caught between two beautiful women: the boss’s conniving wife Dolly (Virginia Madsen) and the naive accountant Gloria (Jennifer Connelly). When Harry plots a bank robbery, he becomes entangled in a lethal web of lust, greed, and extortion where murder may be the only escape. Adapted from Charles Williams’ novel Hell Hath No Fury.
