Plot: Robert Benton's screwball comedy stars Kim Basinger and Jeff Bridges as Nadine and Vernon Hightower, a young couple on the verge of divorce.

But when they break into his office to steal the photos, they hear a commotion in the next room and accidentally grab the wrong envelope, which contains the proposed layout of a new highway, a potential gold mine for real estate developers. Shady real estate kingpin Buford Pope (Rip Torn) wants the plans back and will stop at nothing to get them. The couple is soon on the run not only from Buford but from cops who believe they've killed Escobar. With all of this enforced togetherness, the couple has a chance to get reacquainted. Basinger and Bridges have wonderful chemistry, and Torn is hilarious in his patented sleazeball turn. Benton, best known for deeply affecting, Academy Award-winning melodramas such as KRAMER VS.
