BRINGING OUT THE DEAD
(25th anniversary)

Directed by Martin Scorsese // 121 mins // Feature Film // 35mm

This tense urban drama from Martin Scorsese stars Nicolas Cage as Frank Pierce, a paramedic on the brink of physical and emotional collapse. Frank has worked for years in one of New York's most brutal neighborhoods, and the pressure of his job has taken its toll; plagued with self-doubt, he is haunted by the spirits of the people he couldn't save, and while he desperately wants to quit his job, outside forces won't let him walk away.

“Scorsese is never on autopilot, never panders, never sells out, always goes for broke; to watch his films is to see a man risking his talent, not simply exercising it.” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

“Anyone with a taste for high-risk filmmaking won’t want to miss it.” – David Ansen, Newsweek
