U-Turn - Kein Weg zurück (1997)
Um seine Schulden zu begleichen, macht sich der Glücksspieler Bobby Cooper auf den Weg nach Las Vegas. Als ihm der Kühlerschlauch seines Wagens platzt, muss er in dem Wüsten-Kaff Superior Halt machen. Dort lässt er sich auf eine Affäre mit der hübschen Grace ein. Von nun an hat er nicht nur die russische Mafia, sondern auch Graces eifersüchtigen Ehemann Jake, einen durchtriebenen Immobilienmakler, am Hals. Als dieser seinem Nebenbuhler vorschlägt, die untreue Gattin für 20.000 Dollar zu beseitigen, gerät Bobby in ein teuflisches Intrigenspiel.
