Tequila Sunrise Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD

A BUSINESS ON THE LINE. A FRIENDSHIP ON THE EDGE. A WOMAN CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE.

In 1974, Robert Towne wrote Chinatown, the film that redefined film noir for a new generation with its peerless portrayal of corruption in pre-war Los Angeles. Fourteen years later, he returned to the genre as both writer and director with Tequila Sunrise, bringing a distinctly 1980s flair to this stylish, Casablanca-inspired neo-noir.

Dale McKussic (Mel Gibson) and Nick Frescia (Kurt Russell) are two close friends separated by a legal divide. While Dale is a former drug dealer trying to shake the shackles of his past, Nick is a detective investigating a Mexican kingpin smuggling cocaine. Their contrasting loyalties are brought to a head through a shared romantic interest in restaurateur JoAnn (Michelle Pfeiffer)—an attraction that unknowingly drives their friendship toward an inevitable breaking point.

Featuring magnetic performances from Mel Gibson, Kurt Russell and Michelle Pfeiffer, Tequila Sunrise captures all three stars at the height of their careers. Beautifully photographed by Academy Award-winning cinematographer Conrad Hall (American Beauty), this atmospheric neo-noir unfolds beneath the golden Californian sun, blending romance, crime and moral ambiguity into one of the genre’s most underrated gems.
