Sam Bowden is a small-town corporate attorney. Max Cady is a tattooed, cigar-smoking, Bible-quoting, psychotic rapist. What do they have in common? 14 years ago, Sam was a public defender assigned to Max Cady's rape trial, and he made a serious error: he hid a document from his illiterate client that could have gotten him acquitted. Now, the cagey Cady has been released, and he intends to teach Sam Bowden and his family a thing or two about loss.
Cape Fear is a 1991 psychological thriller starring Robert De Niro and Nick Nolte as a lawyer and the vengeful ex-convict who terrorizes his family. Released in November 1991, this Martin Scorsese-directed remake follows a man facing the consequences of a legal betrayal 14 years in the past.
