Matthew Modine ("And the Band Played On," "Pacific Heights") and Kevin Anderson ("In Country") portray two orphans, a streetwise petty thief and his sheltered brother. They lure a stranger (Albert Finney) to their home to rob him, only to have the stranger "turn the tables" and dramatically change their lives. From the play by Lyle Kessler, featuring performances Leonard Maltin praises as "so powerful," adding "Finney can do no wrong."
