The Border

1982 108 min R Crime · Drama

When Charlie Smith went down to the border, he found more than a boundary between Texas and Mexico. He found a line within himself.

You work the Texas border, skimming off the trafficking action. But a desperate mother crosses your path, selling her child. The game changes. Richardson lenses the moral tightrope of men in uniform. The film lingers in the dust.

Directed by Tony Richardson · Written by Deric Washburn, Walon Green, David Freeman

Starring Jack Nicholson, Harvey Keitel, Valerie Perrine, Warren Oates, Elpidia Carrillo, Shannon Wilcox
