Repo Man

ComedyCrimeSci-FiThriller92 min

In 1980s Los Angeles, punk drifter Otto gets pulled into the repo business when veteran recovery man Bud (Harry Dean Stanton) offers him a job. Emilio Estevez is Otto, a young burnout whose new line of work quickly intersects with a missing ’64 Chevy Malibu, a growing cash reward, and a trail that draws cops, government agents, and whispers about something not from Earth. As Otto moves through strip malls, back lots, and punk clubs, ordinary car repossession gives way to a deadpan collision of street hustle, conspiracy, and sci-fi weirdness.
