Out of the Blue

[Currently playing in select theaters in major cities across the U.S. in celebration of its 40th anniversary.] After a drunk, alcoholic semi-truck driver (Dennis Hopper) serves time in the state penitentiary for driving his 18-wheel vehicle into a school bus and then tries to reconnect with his dysfunctional family in Dennis Hopper's gritty, compelling, well-acted, disturbing, bleak, down-to-earth, low-budget, love-it-or-detest-it, 94-minute, 1980 film sequel to Easy Rider punctuated by a shocking ending, his feisty, rebellious, Elvis-loving, punk-rock-obsessed, thumb-sucking, 15-year-old daughter (Linda Manz), who is under the care of a court-ordered psychiatrist (Raymond Burr), hangs out with the wrong crowd in Vancouver and looks for trouble while her heroin-addicted mother (Sharon Farrell) works as a waitress and spends her time shooting up and having cavorting with random men, including her hubby's best friend (Don Gordon).
