| Summary: | Three-time Oscar-winner Jack Nicholson (Best Actor, As Good As It Gets - 1997, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - 1975| Best Supporting Actor, Terms of Endearment - 1983) and iconic screen beauty Maria Schneider (Last Tango in Paris) star in THE PASSENGER, a cinematically brilliant romantic thriller written and directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Michelangelo Antonioni (1995 Honorary Award) (Blow-Up, L'Avventura). When a fellow traveler dies suddenly, burned-out journalist David Locke (Jack Nicholson) assumes his identity. Using the dead man's datebook as a guide, Locke travels throughout Europe and Africa, taking meetings with dangerous gun runners and falling for a beautiful beguiling young woman (Maria Schneider). But his exciting newfound freedom carries a fateful price as Locke gradually realizes he is in over his head. Featuring a tour-de-force performance by Nicholson, THE PASSENGER won the Bodil award in 1976 for Best European Film and was nominated for the Golden Palm at the 1975 Cannes Film Festival. |
