He's the last man on earth any woman needs... and every woman wants
The sensational RICHARD GERE (AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN) is at his strutting best in a unanimously acclaimed performance - in this mesmerizing remake of Jean Luc Godard's original masterpiece "BREATHLESS." GERE portrays Jesse Lujack, a streetwise hustler whose every move bristles with unbounded energy. On the run from the law, Jesse heads to Los Angeles to seek out Monica (VALERIE KAPRISKY), the meltingly beautiful French student who has captured his heart. Jesse is a rootless drifter whose sole hero is the comic book loner "The Silver Surfer." Monica is a brilliant student with definite plans for her future. Yet, together they are pure dynamite - in a tempestuous affaiir that whirls them through L.A.'s back alleys, on a desperate flight to Mexico, and finally to the tale's startling climax. RICHARD GERE - the sexually explosive loner. VALERIE KAPRISKY - the delicate, well bred French girl. Together, their passion will leave you BREATHLESS.
