Lee Marvin stars as the lethal Walker in director John Boorman's stunningly stylized daylight noir, "Point Blank." Mal Reese, Walker's partner in crime, shoots him and leaves him for dead on desolate Alcatraz Island just after they've pulled off a huge heist. For good measure, Reese also makes off with Walker's perfidious wife, Lynne. A couple of years later, while touring Alcatraz, Walker is approached by a man named Yost who offers to help him get his cut of the take by leading him to Reese and Lynne in exchange for information about the mysterious organization that now includes the thief's ex-partner. Walker agrees.

Rated R for violence.
