A Perfect World

Set in 1963 in Texas, Academy Award-winner Kevin Costner (« The Bodyguard, » « Dances with Wolves ») plays an escaped convict, who, in the course of eluding the Texas Ranger pursuing him, Academy Award-winner Clint Eastwood (« Unforgiven, » « Million Dollar Baby »), takes a hostage — a fatherless young boy who has led a strictly constrained and unhappy life. Together, the con and boy develop a unique friendship, enabling both of them to experience some of the pleasures missing from their childhoods. But their life on the run is on a collision course with the reality of their situation and the laws of a very imperfect world. Co-starring Golden Globe-winner Laura Dern (« Jurassic Park ») and Linda Hart(« Get Shorty, » « Tin Cup »). Variety calls this a « lean, finely chiseled work…a somber, subtly nuanced study » and The New York Times calls this « Majestic, eloquent, profoundly moving. The high point of Mr. Eastwood’s directing career » and calls Costner’s performance « absolutely riveting…an overdue reminder of why he is a film star of such magnitude. » Directed by Clint Eastwood.
