Tequila Sunrise [Blu-ray]

Experience Robert Towne's 1988 neo-noir, Tequila Sunrise, a film that blends the corruption themes of his earlier work, Chinatown, with a distinctly 80s sensibility, drawing inspiration from Casablanca. This limited edition Blu-ray presents a compelling story of divided loyalties, intense friendship, and complicated romance.

The narrative centers on Dale McKussic (Mel Gibson), a former drug dealer attempting to leave his past behind, and Nick Frescia (Kurt Russell), the detective tasked with investigating a major cocaine smuggling operation. Their bond faces insurmountable strain when both men develop romantic feelings for JoAnn (Michelle Pfeiffer), a restaurateur caught between their conflicting worlds.
