The Mean SeasonIcon_movClass_M

1985, 99 minutes, Rated M

In the middle of its storm-riddled summer. Miami must face a new monster: a psychopath whose one objective is to gain fame through murder. Kurt Russell, Richard Jordan and Mariel Hemingway give performances as blistering as the Florida heat in this "never dull parable of American ambition" (New York) that combines an "intriguing premise and provocative subject matter [into] a suspensful thriller" (Boxoffice) with "real chills" (Newsweek)!

An article on the killings of a teenage girl has brought burnt-out Miami Herald reporter Malcolm Anderson (Russell) a powerful new fan... the killer himself. Encouraged by the police to maintain this anonymous relationship, Malcolm receives exclusives on two more killings. But as Malcolm's own celebrity grows, the killer's jealousy prompts him to up the stakes - by abducting the reporter's fiancee (Hemingway) as his own testament to the price of fame!
