A forgotten entry in the Alan Rudolph directorial filmography (which includes WELCOME TO LA; CHOOSE ME; TROUBLE IN MIND; and THE MODERNS), this is a strange conspiracy thriller starring Robert Urich as a New York detective on vacation in Wyoming with his daughter, Marin Kanter. While there
he learns of a mysterious series of cattle mutilations in which the animals organs seem to have been surgically removed. Teamed up with female sheriff JoBeth Williams, Urich uncovers a secret germ-warfare research project sponsored by a clandestine group of right-wing reactionaries within the
American government. Distinguished by Rudolph's usual flair for offbeat characterization...
