Storyline
Plot Summary |
On the night he retires as a Reno, Nevada detective, Jerry Black (Jack Nicholson) pledges to the mother of a murdered girl that he will find the killer. Jerry doesn't believe the Police arrested the right man. He discovers that this is the third incident in the area in the recent past with victims young, blonde, pretty, and small for their ages. So he buys an old gas station in the mountains near the crimes in order to search for a tall man who drives a black station wagon, gives toy porcupines as gifts, and calls himself "the wizard", all clues from a drawing by the dead girl. Jerry's solitary life gives way to friendship with a woman and her small, blonde daughter. Has Jerry neglected something that may prove to be fatal?

Did You Know?
Trivia | Mickey Rourke was attempting a comeback from his self-imposed exile to professional boxing. He was also broke. Because of his wild reputation, studios were reluctant to cast him, and he was relegated to B-Grade action movies that went straight to video. Sean Penn was a big fan of Rourke, and he insisted on casting him in a small but pivotal scene as the grieving father of a murdered child. After this small part, Rourke began to get offered larger roles with bigger studios. See more » |
Goofs | There are no tunnels outside Reno, Nevada. This is not a goof, it's "creative geography" and is a widely used cinematic device. See more » |

Duane Larsen:
I want to see my daughter. Jerry Black: I don't think that would be a good idea. Duane Larsen: WHY WOULDN'T THAT BE A GOOD IDEA? Jerry Black: Because we hardly dared to look ourselves. See more » |
