Kasdan Descends Into The "Grand Canyon"

The Anchor Bay Entertainment re-release of director Lawrence Kasdan's 1991 drama, "Grand Canyon", is now available on Blu-ray and DVD :

"..immigration lawyer 'Mac' (Kevin Kline) finds himself at the mercy of potential muggers when his car breaks down in a bad part of Los Angeles late at night. But the gang are talked out of victimizing Mac by 'Simon' (Danny Glover), a tow-truck driver who arrives just in time. After that night Mac sets out to befriend Simon, despite their having nothing in common. Mac seems unaware that his desire to befriend Simon is actually a form of mid-life crisis, mixed with racial guilt that he is well-off while Simon is struggling financially.

"Meanwhile, Mac's wife 'Claire' (Mary McDonnell) and best friend 'Davis' (Steve Martin) are also experiencing life-changing events, when she encounters an abandoned infant while out jogging and becomes determined to adopt it and he is shot in the leg by a man trying to steal his watch. A producer of violent action films, Davis suddenly becomes interested in philosophy more than box-office profits, and announces that he will devote the remainder of his career to eliminating violence from the cinema.

"The film chronicles how these characters – as well as various acquaintances, co-workers and relatives – are affected by their interactions in the light of life-changing events, converging at the 'Grand Canyon' on a shared vacation trip..."
