Description of this True Romance Poster
True Romance is a 1993 American romantic crime film directed by Tony Scott and written by Quentin Tarantino. It features an ensemble of actors led by Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette, with Dennis Hopper, Val Kilmer, Gary Oldman, Brad Pitt and Christopher Walken in supporting roles. Slater and Arquette play newlyweds who flee the mafia after stealing a shipment of drugs.
True Romance was originally a screenplay by Tarantino, who sold it to finance his first feature film, Reservoir Dogs (1992). The film is seen by its supporters as a distillation of the respective trademarks of screenwriter Tarantino and director Scott, including a Southern California setting, pop culture references and stylized violence punctuated by slow motion.
Although the film was initially a box office failure, positive reviews, which praised the film's dialogue, characters and quirky style, led to it being considered a cult film. It is today considered one of Scott's best films and one of the best American films of the 1990s.
In a Detroit cinema showing kung fu films, Alabama Whitman strikes up a conversation with Clarence Worley, an Elvis Presley fanatic. Later, they make love in the latter's apartment, located in the city center. Alabama tearfully admits that she is a call girl hired by her boss as a birthday present, but that she has fallen in love with him. They were married the next day at city hall. An Elvis apparition visits Clarence and convinces him to kill violent Alabama pimp Drexl Spivey. Going to the brothel where Alabama worked, he kills Drexl and grabs a bag he assumes contains Alabama's belongings. Returning to the apartment, he and Alabama discover that it contains a large quantity of cocaine that Drexl had stolen from two drug dealers.
The couple seeks help from Clarence's estranged father Clifford, a retired police officer. He explains to Clarence that the police believe that Drexl's murder was the work of a gang who took revenge on the murdered drug dealers. After the couple leaves for Los Angeles, Clifford is questioned by Vincenzo Coccotti, consigliere of the mobster "Blue Lou Boyle", who had hired Drexl to steal and distribute the cocaine on his behalf. He reveals that the mafia knows about Clarence's theft since they found his driver's license near Drexl's body. Clifford, who knows he is going to die anyway, taunts Coccotti, who shoots him dead. One of his men then finds an address in Los Angeles stuck on Clifford's refrigerator.
In Los Angeles, Clarence and Alabama meet Dick Ritchie, an aspiring actor friend of Clarence's, who introduces him to actor and production assistant Elliot Blitzer. The latter reluctantly agrees to serve as an intermediary to sell the drugs to his boss, the legendary film producer Lee Donowitz. While Clarence is out buying lunch, Coccotti's henchman Virgil finds Alabama in her motel room and beats her for information. Alabama fights back, using hairspray to set Virgil's clothes on fire and putting nail polish in his eyes before grabbing his sawed-off shotgun, stabbing him with a corkscrew and killing him. cut down in a fit of manic rage. Clarence tends to his wounds and they discuss their future together.
Elliot is arrested for speeding and charged when his mistress spills a bag of cocaine after he tries to hide it in her dress. To avoid prison, he agrees to wear a microphone and record the drug deal between Clarence and Donowitz for police detectives Dimes and Nicholson. Coccotti's men also learn the location of the transaction from Floyd, Dick's roommate. Clarence, Alabama, Dick and Elliot go to Donowitz's suite at the Ambassador Hotel with the drugs. In the elevator, Clarence, suspicious, threatens Elliot with a gun, but is convinced by Elliot who asks for leniency.
Clarence makes up a story for Donowitz that the drugs were given to him by a corrupt cop, and he agrees to the sale. Excusing himself to the bathroom, the vision of Elvis reassures him that things are going well. Donowitz and his bodyguards are ambushed by the cops and mobsters. Elliot reveals himself to be an informant by asking the cops if he can leave, which sparks a shootout. Dick throws the suitcase containing the drugs into the air, where it is torn apart by gunfire, and flees. Donowitz, his bodyguards, Elliot, the cops and the mobsters are all killed, and Clarence is injured leaving the bathroom. He and Alabama flee with Donowitz's money as more police arrive. They flee to Mexico, where Alabama gives birth to a son whom they name Elvis.
