Gene Wilder (Blazing Saddles, Willy Wonka) plays Michael Jordan, an innocent by-stander turned victim, turned hero. Kate Hellman (Gilda Radner, Haunted Honeymoon, The Woman in Red) falls in love with him while looking for her brother’s murderers. Together they are caught in a world of international intrigue, suspense and murder. Ransom (Richard Widmark, The Alamo, Murder on the Orient Express), a ruthless adversary, is intent on eliminating Michael.
Pursued by Ransom, Michael and Kate embark on a bold mission which takes them on a wild ride high above the Grand Canyon, to a hidden military command center, through a frenzied chase in the streets of New York and to a desert outpost where attackers besiege them from all sides.
Distinguished, award winning actor Sidney Poitier directed Gene Wilder again in this comedy adventure, after helming Stir Crazy, in which Wilder co-starred with Richard Pryor. Wilder and Saturday Night Live star Gilda Radner first met while shooting this movie and they quickly became friends, and later married.
