Cape Fear (1991)

海角驚魂

律師薩姆出於道義隱藏了對卡迪有利的一份證據，致使強姦犯卡迪被施以重刑入獄十四年。卡迪刑滿釋放之後來到了薩姆居住的小城，開始了針對薩姆一家人瘋狂的復仇行動。

Fourteen years after being imprisoned, vicious psychopath Max Cady (Robert De Niro) emerges with a single-minded mission: to seek revenge on his attorney Sam Bowden (Nick Nolte). Cady becomes a terrifying presence as he menacingly circles Bowden’s increasingly unstable family. Realizing he is legally powerless to protect his his beautiful wife Leigh (Jessica Lange) and his troubled teenage daughter Danielle (Juliette Lewis), Sam resorts to unorthodox measures which lead to an unforgettable showdown on Cape Fear.

山姆·鮑登（尼克·諾爾特飾）是一名律師，與妻子莉（傑西卡·蘭格飾）和十幾歲的女兒丹妮爾（朱麗葉特·劉易斯飾）住在北卡羅來納州。 他的前客戶馬克斯·卡迪（羅伯特·德尼羅飾）在服刑 14 年後獲釋。 卡迪因法定強姦和毆打一名 16 歲女孩而受到審判，薩姆對這次襲擊感到震驚，他埋葬了受害者濫交的證據以及卡迪不知道她的實際年齡，這可能會減輕卡迪的刑期，甚至確保他無罪釋放。

鮑登認為，在被定罪時是文盲的卡迪仍然沒有意識到他故意拙劣的辯護。 然而，他不知道的是，他的前任客戶是一個天生聰明且專一的精神病患者。 他在獄中學會了閱讀和學習法律，甚至多次對自己的定罪提出上訴，但均未成功。 他追踪山姆並開始恐嚇鮑登一家； 他潛伏在房產附近，家裡的狗被神秘地殺死了。 山姆試圖逮捕卡迪，但警方沒有犯罪證據。 卡迪在酒吧故意與她過馬路後，強姦並毆打愛上了山姆的縣法院書記員洛里差點喪命。 儘管有山姆的建議，她拒絕提出指控，因為擔心他們正在進行的柏拉圖式調情會被公開，以及不願被自己的同事盤問和羞辱。 山姆聘請了一名私家偵探克塞克來跟踪卡迪。

卡迪冒充她的新戲劇老師，並假裝對她十幾歲的焦慮非常感興趣，從而接近丹妮爾。 他將她引誘到學校劇院，與她共用一個關節，操縱她的性慾和對他的吸引力並親吻她。 她的父母在她的教科書中找到了這個聯合，而丹妮爾對卡迪的誘惑程度的靦腆使山姆陷入了絕望的境地。 然後，他同意了克塞克（Kersek）的計劃，他早些時候駁回了該計劃，即毆打卡迪。 他還給了卡迪一個最後的警告，卡迪用隱藏的錄音機偷偷錄音。 Kersek 的三個雇來的暴徒搭訕並毆打卡迪，山姆在遠處看著，但卡迪扭轉了攻擊他的潮流，惡毒地毆打了他們。 然後，卡迪利用山姆威脅的錄音和對他自己受傷的誇張展示來申請對山姆的限制令。 Lee Heller（Cady 的律師）還向 ABA 道德委員會請願，要求取消 Sam 的資格，從而在羅利召開了為期兩天的緊急會議。

Kersek 預料到 Cady 打算在 Sam 在羅利時進入 Bowden 家。 家人假裝山姆離開，躲進屋裡，希望卡迪闖進來，這樣他就可以自衛中槍了。 Cady 殺死了 Bowden 的管家 Graciela 並穿上她的衣服，然後用鋼琴線勒住了 Kersek 並用自己的手槍射殺了他。 發現屍體後，Sam、Leigh 和 Danielle 嚇壞了，逃到了停泊在 Cape Fear 河沿岸的船屋。

跟隨家人的卡迪襲擊了山姆，並準備強姦莉和丹妮爾，同時讓山姆注意。 丹妮爾一邊點燃雪茄，一邊用打火機液體噴灑卡迪，將他吞沒在火焰中，導致他從船上跳下。 然而，卡迪緊緊抓住一根繩子，將自己拉回了船上。 當小船被猛烈的雷暴震盪時，一個嚴重燒傷和精神錯亂的卡迪與山姆對質，因為他 14 年前的故意疏忽對他進行了模擬審判。 儘管山姆堅持說卡迪吹噓自己在兩次強姦指控中都失敗了，而且他的罪行太令人髮指，以至於不能考慮濫交報告，但卡迪仍斥責他沒有履行作為律師的職責。

風暴最終將卡迪擊倒，讓山姆在婦女們跳下船並上岸後佔據上風。 山姆用卡迪的手銬將卡迪銬在船上。 當船撞到一塊岩石並被摧毀時，岸上的戰鬥仍在繼續，但洶湧的潮水將卡迪帶走，他淹死了，他說方言並唱著讚美詩“我站在約旦的風雨如磐的河岸上”。 山姆在重新加入利和丹妮爾之前洗掉了手上的血，後者意識到對他們來說一切都不會再一樣了。

Sam Bowden (Nick Nolte) is a lawyer living in North Carolina with his wife Leigh (Jessica Lange) and teenage daughter Danielle (Juliette Lewis). Max Cady (Robert De Niro), a former client of his, is released from prison after 14 years. Cady was tried for statutory rape and battery of a 16-year-old girl and, appalled by the attack, Sam buried evidence of the victim’s promiscuity and Cady’s unawareness of her actual age, which might have lightened Cady’s sentence or even secured his acquittal.

Bowden believes that Cady, who was illiterate at the time of his conviction, remains unaware of his purposefully botched defense. Unbeknownst to him, however, his former client is a naturally intelligent and single-minded psychopath; he learned how to read and studied law in prison, and even unsuccessfully appealed his own conviction several times. He tracks Sam down and begins to terrorize the Bowden family; he lurks near the property and the family dog is mysteriously killed. Sam attempts to have Cady arrested but the police have no evidence of a crime. After intentionally crossing paths with her in a bar, Cady rapes and beats County Courthouse clerk Lori nearly to death, who is in love with Sam. Despite Sam’s advice, she refuses to press charges out of fear that their ongoing platonic flirtation become public, as well as unwillingness to be cross-examined and humiliated by her own colleagues. Sam hires a private investigator, Kersek, to follow Cady.

Cady approaches Danielle by impersonating her new drama teacher and feigning an unorthodox interest in her teenage angst. He lures her to the school theater, shares a joint with her, manipulates her libido and attraction to him and kisses her. Her parents find the joint in her schoolbook, and Danielle’s coyness about the extent of Cady’s seduction drives Sam to the point of desperation. He then agrees to Kersek’s plan, which he had dismissed earlier, to have Cady beaten up. He also gives Cady a final warning, which Cady secretly tapes with a hidden recorder. Kersek’s three hired thugs accost and beat Cady as Sam watches from afar, but Cady turns the tide on his attackers and viciously beats them instead. Cady then uses the recording of Sam’s threat and an exaggerated display of his own injuries to file for a restraining order against Sam. Lee Heller (Cady’s lawyer) also petitions the ABA Ethics Committee for Sam’s disbarment, thereby triggering a two-day emergency meeting in Raleigh.

Kersek anticipates Cady’s intention to enter the Bowden house while Sam is in Raleigh; the family fakes Sam’s departure and hides in the house, hoping that Cady will break in, so that he can be shot in self-defense. Cady kills the Bowden’s housekeeper Graciela and dons her clothing before murdering Kersek by garroting him with a piano wire and shooting him with his own pistol. Horrified after discovering the bodies, Sam, Leigh, and Danielle flee to their houseboat docked upstate along the Cape Fear River.

Cady, who has followed the family, attacks Sam and prepares to rape Leigh and Danielle while making Sam watch. Danielle sprays Cady with lighter fluid as he lights a cigar, engulfing him in flames and causing him to jump off the boat. However, Cady clings to a rope and pulls himself back on board. As the boat is rocked by a violent thunderstorm, a badly burned and deranged Cady confronts Sam, putting him on a mock trial for his deliberate negligence 14 years ago. Despite Sam’s insistence that Cady bragged about beating two prior rape charges and that his crime was too heinous for the promiscuity report to be taken into account, Cady berates him for failing to do his duty as a lawyer.

The storm eventually knocks Cady off his feet, allowing Sam to gain the upper hand once the women jump off the boat and make it to shore. Sam uses Cady’s handcuffs to shackle Cady to the boat. When the boat hits a rock and is destroyed, the fight continues on shore, but a raging tide carries Cady away and he drowns speaking in tongues and singing the hymn ”On Jordan’s Stormy Banks I Stand”. Sam washes the blood from his hands before he rejoins Leigh and Danielle, who realizes that things will never be the same again for them.
