About the film: Repo Man is a 1984 American science fiction black comedy film staring Harry Dean Stanton and Emilio Estevez. Set in Los Angeles, the plot concerns a young punk man (Estevez) who is recruited by a car repossession agency and gets caught up in the pursuit of a mysterious Chevrolet Malibu that might be connected to extraterrestrials. The film is a satire of America under the Reagan administration, consumerism and the Atomic Age.

The film received widespread acclaim and many critics named it one of the best films of 1984. It has since gained a cult following, particularly surrounding Cox's re-edited version of the film for television due to its deliberate inclusion of surreal overdubs to replace profanity.
