Brief synopsis of The Sunchaser

Michael Reynolds is a rich oncologist who has a $175,000 sports car, a multi-million dollar home, and a new boost in his career. Brandon 'Blue' Monroe is a dying patient who kidnaps Reynolds. They are going to a legendary Navajo healing place while a manhunt closes in. Soon the men get closer in understanding each other and to the place that may save them both.

Critics Reviews

Rating of 2 stars out of 5 Radio Times

This over-egged concoction ambitiously seeks to mix elements of road and male-bonding movies, with some native American mysticism added for good measure. Directed by Michael Cimino, whose overblown Heaven's Gate all but destroyed United Artists, it stars the impressive Jon Seda as a teen hoodlum dying of cancer. After breaking out of prison, Seda takes passing doctor Woody Harrelson hostage and forces him to drive to a mystical lake that, according to legend, has healing properties. Their relationship develops en route. Though well intentioned, it's somewhat pretentious and Harrelson is miscast.
