Bobby owes a gambling debt, and the creditor cut off two fingers. When he took a bag of money to Las Vegas to pay his debts, the engine overheated and burned out halfway, and he was stranded in the deserted town of Superior.
A series of enzymatic incidents ensued: first, the crazy and arrogant mechanic, forcibly buckled his car; met the mysterious beauty in the small town, Grace, and was bumped into by Grace's husband Jack when her lust was aroused; Then he was robbed in the store; and in the tavern was pestered by a woman. The inexplicable man claimed that he had mistreated his girlfriend, and the two fought out... Then what was even more unexpected was: Jack actually hired Bobby to kill his wife! The embarrassed Bobby agreed to take up the job, but under Grace's temptation, he accepted her counter-measure: Kill Jack, and then walk away with her with the money. In the end, the fierce Jack died in the hands of the two.
The story is not over yet: when Bobby and Grace were about to flee, the police chased --- Grace had an affair with the policeman. At the same time, Ba learned an amazing inside story: the dead Jack was Grace's biological father! After Grace killed the policeman, the two began to have their own ghosts, and they finally fell apart. First, Grace pushed Bobby off the cliff, only to find that the car had been quietly locked by Bobby. Bobby lured her down and killed her. Finally, he could fly away with the huge sum of money, but the engine burned out again.
The Indian reservation where Bobby was baked at a high temperature of 90 degrees has no place to bury him.
In view of Oliver Stone's enthusiasm for social themes, there is no doubt that this is another political film.
There are metaphors everywhere, such as heat, U-shaped road signs, arrogant car repair workers, blind Indian prophets, Grace's mother... Grace of Indian descent adultery with everyone: white father Jack, white policeman, Bobby ...And it's capricious to everyone.
At the end of the film is an empty shot sweeping the entire Indian wasteland, and black and white photos of Indians appear---like a last look at the dead relatives, sad.
The photography uses Stone's good at moving and following shots. The overhead and overhead shots are particularly expressive here: the scorching sun, cliffs, and subjective viewpoints are all just right; the wide-angle close-ups of the characters all show tense deformation; the editing is compact, The story came together in one go. The whole piece is hot and sweaty.
