Event Details
In Martin Scorsese’s remake of the 1962 film, violent ex-con Max Cady (Robert De Niro) uses his menacing presence paired with his knowledge of the law to harass former defense attorney Sam Bowden (Nick Nolte) and his family. Legal hurdles prevent Bowden from putting a stop to the torment, so he goes to desperate measures to protect his wife and daughter. Juliette Lewis’s portrayal of Bowden’s innocent teen daughter, Dani, garnered a nomination for Best Supporting Actress, and Robert De Niro was nominated for Best Actor at the 64th Academy Awards.
