Drugstore Cowboy
CrimeDrama102 min
In 1971 Portland, a small band of addicts moves from one motel and one score to the next, robbing pharmacies and hospitals for the drugs that keep them going. Bob leads the crew with rules, superstitions, and constant calculation, trying to stay one step ahead of police, pharmacists, and withdrawal. As the robberies pile up, the life he treats like a system starts to crack: bad luck, panic, and mounting pressure turn every job into a risk. Matt Dillon and Kelly Lynch anchor a story about people living by impulse and routine, even as the routine becomes harder to survive.
