Neo Noir! – Night of the Juggler (1980)

Long unavailable, yet now rediscovered and restored, James Brolin stars as the tough ex-cop who relentlessly searches for his kidnapped teenage daughter, a young woman that a dangerous psychotic has mistaken for the child of a smugly entitled real estate developer. Dan Hedaya, playing a furious cop with a nasty grudge, is out to stop Brolin. Mandy Patinkin also appears in the film. Rated R. 101 minutes.

Part of the film series: Neo Noir! Rebels, Revolutionaries, and the Rewriting of the Nation

“Big fan of this film… Lots of old school, sleazy NYC on display. And a crazy cop with a grudge, Dan Hedaya, chasing ex-cop on-the-run, James Brolin, through Midtown Manhattan streets while recklessly firing his shotgun with hundreds of civilians running around is what movies are all about.”
– Academy Award-winning filmmaker Sean Baker.
