This staggeringly hilarious chronicle of the romance between inept bad boy Nicolas Cage and straight-arrow cop Holly Hunter was an unexpected follow up to the Coen brothers’ chilling Blood Simple. With its outrageous plot, fast-paced action and even some wild pyrotechnics, Raising Arizona will forever have a place in the hearts of lovers, and film lovers, everywhere.
Once he decides to give up crime, a small-time robber proposes to a pretty cop. But when the newlyweds learn they can't conceive a baby, they decide to steal one from a couple who seem to have one to spare--since they just had quintuplets.
