WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW

    Master filmmaker Martin Scorsese brings heart-pounding suspense to one of the most acclaimed thrillers of all time.
    Fourteen years after being imprisoned, vicious psychopath Max Cadey (Robert De Niro) emerges with a single-minded mission: to seek revenge on his attorney Sam Bowden (Nick Nolte).
    Cady becomes a terrifying presence as he menacingly circles Bowden's increasingly unstable family. Realizing he is legally powerless to protect his beautiful wife Leigh (Jessica Lange) and his troubled teenage daughter Danielle (Juliette Lewis), Sam resorts to unorthodox measures which lead to an unforgettable showdown on Cape Fear.
    Visually stunning images and brilliant performances from a talented cast highlight this roller-coaster ride through relentless psychological torment.

TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• This movie is a remake of the 1962 film of the same name written by James R. Webb, which was itself based on a book The Executioners by John D. MacDonald.
• Three of the stars of the 1962 version make appearances in this movie. Gregory Peck appears as Max Cady's lawyer, Robert Mitchum played Lt. Elgart, and Martin Balsam played a judge. This would be Gregory Peck's last feature film.
• Robert De Niro did a lot of preparation for his role in this movie. He extensively researched the behavior of sexual predators, he paid a dentist $5,000 to mess up his teeth (it would cost an additional $20,000 to fix them again afterward), he toned his muscles reportedly getting his body fat level down to a mere 3%, and got extensive body tattoos made of vegetable dye which fade off after a few months.
• Originally Steven Spielberg was supposed to direct this movie, however he gave up filming this movie due to several big projects including Jurassic Park and Schindler's List. Scorsese had first been asked by Spielberg to direct Schindler's List but refused, later when Spielberg decided he would direct it himself he handed this movie to Scorsese.
