Continental Divide
ComedyRomance103 min
After a bruising run-in tied to one of his columns, Chicago newspaper writer Ernie Souchak is sent to the Rockies to profile eagle researcher Nell Porter. John Belushi is Ernie, a big-city reporter with a loud, skeptical manner; Blair Brown's Nell is more at home on mountain trails than around people. Their assignment turns into an unlikely romance shaped by cultural clashes, camping mishaps, and the distance between city routines and life in the wilderness.
