Road House

Patrick Swayze stars as Dalton in this modern-day western as a tough guy with poetic instincts and a Mercedes.

Fresh from earning his degree in Eastern Philosophy from New York University, mettlesome loner Dalton finds work as a bouncer at a violent road house. Within weeks, Dalton has rid the bar of the trouble-makers ruining its business and has even struck up a romance with a sexy doctor.

When Dalton bounces the wrong man, who turns out to be one of local crime boss Brad Wesley's henchmen. Wesley first tries to buy Dalton off, but fails. When Wesley learns of Dalton's new lover, who used to be Wesley's significant other, Wesley vows bloody vengeance. But Dalton, with his unique mixture of brute force and calmness, isn't about to let his college money go to waste.
