Cape Fear Movie
Years ago, attorney Sam Bowden (Nick Nolte) defended a psychopath named Max Cady (Robert De Niro) who was accused of brutally raping a teenage girl. During the trial Bowden deliberately hid an important piece of evidence that could have kept Cady out of prison. Thus he was sentenced to fourteen years' imprisonment on charges of the rape and battery. When his prison term expires, Cady comes out with a single-minded goal to wreak vengeance on the lawyer by destroying his career and terrorizing his wife Leigh (Jessica Lange) and his 15-year-old daughter Danielle (Juliette Lewis).
Tagline
