Threat advisory: Under evaluation
Movie propaganda
All it takes to bring him down is one bullet... one woman or... one false move.
Two ruthless drug dealers - African-American man Pluto (Michael Beach) and white redneck Ray Malcolm (Billy Bob Thornton) - commit a brutal mass murder in Los Angeles and are forced to flee the state. When their beautiful accomplice Fantasia (Cynda Williams), who's also Ray's girlfriend, begs to go home to Arkansas, they continue on to Texas to sell their wares. She returns to her hometown where she has a 5-year-old boy living with her mother and brother. Apprehended there by local lawmen, and faced with the impending arrival of the drug dealers, she and the married white police chief Dale "Hurricane" Dixon (Bill Paxton) are forced to confront the secret of their shared past, turning this crime thriller into a powerful melodrama about racial identity. One false move is a also a tender character study of a small town police officer who sees his one chance at glory when real violence threatens his community.
