RUNNING ON EMPTY

Judd Hirsch, Christine Lahti, River Phoenix

Warner Brothers; Directed by Sidney Lumet

Rated R; 116 minutes; 1988

In this critically-acclaimed poignant drama from the director of "DOG DAY AFTERNOON" and "NETWORK", Judd Hirsch and Christine Lahti star as a couple of fugitives wanted by the FBI who have been living "underground" with their family since 1971. Their "normal" life becomes threatened, however, when their oldest son (River Phoenix) is torn between life on the run, which will keep his family together or pursuing his career and a life of his own.
