Runtime: 2 hours 20 minutes

Year: 1997

FBI agent Sean Archer and criminal mastermind Castor Troy become trapped in each other’s lives after undergoing an experimental surgical identity swap, performed so Archer can uncover the location of a biological bomb hidden somewhere in Los Angeles. Nicolas Cage and John Travolta dive into the film’s bizarre premise, making the role reversal a highlight of John Woo’s energetic and stylized crime thriller. The story escalates when Troy awakens from his coma, forces surgeons to give him Archer’s face and turns the agent’s plan completely upside down, setting up a high stakes chase where each man must navigate the world as his enemy. This 90s classic film blends explosive action with themes of identity, revenge and moral ambiguity. You won’t want to miss this special screening in 35 mm from the Eye’s collection.

The film is in English with Dutch subtitles.
