CAPE FEAR

Through his
    fourteen year sentence, Max Cady (De Niro) has nursed a hatred for the defence lawyer Sam
    Bowden (Nolte) who failed to keep Cady out of prison. Upon his release, Cady sets about hounding
    Bowden through his kin.

    First up is Sam's junior colleague and confidante Lori Davis (Illeana Douglas), who he picks up in a
    bar following Sam's failing to meet her as arranged the previous day. After the Bowden family dog
    is mysteriously poisoned, Cady brazenly drives to the Bo wden's gate to offer the dog leash he's
    'found' to Sam's wife Leigh (Lange), who doesn't immediately recognise him.

    Later, Cady makes advances to Sam's daughter Danielle (Juliette Lewis) by posing as her new
    English Literature teacher to make seemingly innocent romantic passes at the girl (to which she
    hesitantly responds) on school premises - and slip her sexually exp licit Henry Miller novels.

    Cady further outwits Sam by staring at Leigh from across a 14th of July parade, being assaulted by
    the lawyer and slapping a restraining order upon his victim. Sam hires PI Kersek (Joe Don Baker),
    who becomes desperate enough to have Cady attacked by hood lums only for the deed to rebound
    upon him.

After terrorising the family in their home, Cady follows mother and daughter to their houseboat on
    the waters of Cape Fear, believing their husband to be away for the debarment hearing resulting
    from the hoodlum attack; but Sam is lying in wait for him...
