Dangerous Pursuit

A young woman's past catches up with her five years later and nearly shatters her life. As a footloose cocktail waitress, she unwittingly once spent the night in Manhattan with a political assassin and now, as a happily married cop's wife, has the misfortune of running into him after all this time in Portland, Oregon -- and the pursuit begins.

Directed by Sandor Stern, Dangerous Pursuit leans on a strong ensemble — Alexandra Powers, Brian Wimmer, Elena Wohl — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1990.
