Plazadrome: At Close Range with Justin LaLiberty
Videodrome’s continuing series of staff-picked classic & cult films! Special guest Justin LaLiberty. Bradford “Big Brad” Whitewood Sr. (Christopher Walken, King of New York) is the leader of a rural Pennsylvania gang of career criminals and his son, Bradford “Little Brad” Whitewood Jr. (Sean Penn, State of Grace), is an unemployed teenager who decides he wants a taste of his father’s flashy lifestyle and the power that comes with it. Embarking on a budding life of crime with his brother Tommy (played by Sean Penn’s real life brother Chris Penn, True Romance), Little Brad gets arrested, sparking a tense showdown between father and son, and their family and friends who get caught in the middle. Based on the real life Pennsylvania gang run by Bruce Johnston, from a script by Nicholas Kazan (Patty Hearst), At Close Range marks the sophomore feature for acclaimed American genre filmmaker James Foley (Glengarry Glen Ross; After Dark, My Sweet). Featuring an eclectic ensemble cast that puts the leads opposite Mary Stuart Masterson (Fried Green Tomatoes), Crispin Glover (River’s Edge), Tracey Walter (Repo Man), David Strathairn (Matewan), and Kiefer Sutherland (Stand By Me) with striking night time cinematography by regularly Foley collaborator Juan Ruiz Anchía (Glengarry Glen Ross, The Corruptor), Foley’s film is one of the great American crime films of the 1980s. Cinématographe is proud to present the world 4K UHD debut of James Foley’s masterclass in true crime drama in a brand new restoration from its original camera negative.CrimePT1H51MR2026-03-22Sean Penn
