Geen ondertiteling
Sailor (Nicolas Cage) wordt ontslagen uit de gevangenis en wil met zijn vriendin (Laura Dern) naar Californië. Haar moeder is hier fel op tegen en stuurt een huurmoordenaar achter hen aan om Sailor uit de weg te ruimen. Niet alleen omdat hij haar dochter van haar afneemt, maar ook en vooral omdat Sailor meer weet over iets wat in het verleden is gebeurd.
Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern play a pair of lovers on the run in David Lynch’s surrealist road movie Wild at Heart. Cage’s Sailor Ripley is a violent ex-convict with an Elvis Presley fixation who falls in love with Dern’s Lula Pace Fortune, the daughter of a rich, but mentally unstable, Southern belle named Marietta (Diane Ladd, Dern’s real-life mother). Just after Sailor is released from prison, where he was jailed for brutally killing one of Marietta’s thugs, he and Lula take off on a wild cross-country trip, pursued by his parole officer, her mother, criminals, bounty hunters, and detectives. Along the way, Sailor and Lula have a lot of sex, share their pasts, share their respective obsessions for Elvis and The Wizard of Oz, and meet a lot of bizarre characters, including a seedy ex-marine (Willem Dafoe) who persuades Sailor to participate in a bank robbery.
