"Shattering! Unforgettable! Tremendous excitement!" -New West
Two-time Oscar® nominee Nick Nolte is "like a champion achieving cinematic immortality [in this] knockout adventure destined to become a classic" (Washington Post). Co-starring Tuesday Weld (Falling Down) and Michael Moriarty (TV's "Law & Order"), this "savage, paranoid thriller" (Newsweek) is "acted brilliantly and cast perfectly [and] one of the year's best" (The New York Times)!
Fresh from the bloody battlefields of Vietnam, Ray Hicks (Nolte) does his friend Converse a favor, smuggling a stash of heroin back to the States. But when Ray goes to deliver the drugs, he and Converse's wife, Marge (Weld), are ambushed and barely escape with their lives! Suddenly on the run from two ruthless thugs and a murderous cop, the unlikely pair must find a way to get along and survive a perilous double-cross in this "gripping nightmare adventure" (New West) that quickly becomes a "harrowing journey into hell" (Newsweek).

Great Early Nolte Film, Deserved better treatment on DVD. - 2.75 out of 5 (10/8/2002)
"Who'll Stop the Rain" has always
been one of my favorite early Nick
Nolte films. Nolte plays ex-marine
Ray Hicks. He is recruited by his
best friend John (Michael Moriarity)
to smuggle a bundle of heroin for
him. Tuesday Weld plays Marge, Johns wife. She gets caught up with
Nolte in this. Things get hairy when a team of corrupt DEA agents played superbly by Anthony Zerbe, Ray Sharkey, and Richard Masur go
after Nolte and Weld. What is disappointing about the DVD version,
is prima
