dir.
Brian DePalma, USA, 1981, 35mm, 108 mins, color
 John
Travolta plays a Philadelphia film sound effects man who accidentally
records a politician's deadly car crash on Wissahickon Drive.
While listening to the tape, he suspects he's uncovered a sinister
assassination, leading through a
violent path of intrigue and murder that culminates in a wild
chase across Center City. With a skillful blending
of real-life events of Watergate and Chappaquiddick, Philly
native Brian DePalma tautly directed this political thriller.
"Probably the best of all American conspiracy movies."
- Pauline Kael
