Directed by Martin Scorsese • 1999 • United States
Starring Nicolas Cage, Patricia Arquette, John Goodman

This searing collaboration between director Martin Scorsese and screenwriter Paul Schrader continues their ongoing inquiry into questions of guilt, torment, faith, and existential meaning. Something like a humanist (and darkly humorous) companion to TAXI DRIVER, BRINGING OUT THE DEAD unfolds over the course of three nerve-wracking nights in the life of Frank Pierce (Nicolas Cage), a massively burned-out New York City paramedic working the graveyard shift in Hell’s Kitchen. Plagued by visions of the people he’s tried to save, Pierce finds himself teetering on the edge of madness as he searches the haunted night world for redemption.
