Based on a true story, the hard-hitting drama At Close Range (1986)—written by Nicholas Kazan and directed by James Foley (Who’s That Girl)—gives us the grim tale of a rural Pennsylvania crime family led by Brad Sr. (Christopher Walken), a nasty charismatic who lures his n’er-do-well son, Brad, Jr. (Sean Penn, The Gunman), into a life of ghastly deeds.

Also starring ,Mary Stuart Masterson (Some Kind of Wonderful), Crispin Glover (Hot Tube Time Machine), and Christopher Penn (The Funeral), the film features the pop ballad Madonna, which was originally written for the soundtrack of the film Fire with Fire. When the song was shown to Madonna, however, she decided to use it for her then-husband Sean Penn’s latest film.

As supplier Twilight Time prints up only 3,000 copies of each title, be sure to keep an eye on the Twilight Time site or that of their distributor Screen Archives’s for the announcement of the prebook date (usually 2-3 weeks before the title’s street date) and get ready to reserve!
