Raising Arizona

Raising Arizona

1987

Holly Hunter is an ex-cop; Nicolas Cage is an ex-con. They're husband and wife, but when they learn they can't have children, they reckon they could just "borrow" one of furniture magnate Nathan Arizona's new quintuplets. From Joel and Ethan Coen, the directors of Fargo and The Big Lebowski, Raising Arizona is a kinetic kidnapping comedy with slapstick laughs and a big heart.

A comedy beyond belief.
