Rick Jarmin (Mel Gibson) helped convict a drug dealing FBI agent named Eugene Sorenson (David Carradine) and was placed in the witness protection program. 15 years later, his former fiancé Marianne Graves (Goldie Hawn) crosses paths with him at a gas station in Detroit, Michigan. Rick refuses to recognize Marianne because Sorenson has since been released from prison and he does not want to put Marianne’s life in danger.

Sorenson and his partner Albert Diggs (Bill Duke) are now out for revenge on Rick. Marianne has blown Rick’s cover, and he makes a frantic call to his relocation contact for a new identity — only to discover that his old contact has retired.

What’s more, his new contact, Joe Weyburn (Stephen Tobolowsky), is in league with Diggs and Sorenson. Just as Marianne prepares to confront Rick, Sorenson and Diggs show up at the gas station with guns blazing.

They heartbreakingly kill Rick’s kindly old boss at the gas station and pin the murder on Rick and Marianne, sending Rick and Marianne on the run. Read more
