Out of the Blue (1980) 4K Restoration (2019)

Dennis Hopper directs and stars in "Out of the Blue" (1980) - a spiritual sequel to his own "Easy Rider", chronicling the collapse of sixties idealism into the nihilistic haze of the 1980s. Don (Hopper) is a truck driver in prison for drunkenly smashing his rig into a school bus. Linda Manz (Days of Heaven) plays his daughter CeBe, a teen rebel obsessed with Elvis and the Sex Pistols. Her mother, (Sharon Farrell) waitresses, shoots up drugs and takes refuge in the arms of other men. CeBe runs away to Vancouver’s punk scene and ends up on probation. After Don’s release, the family struggles to re-connect before the revelation of dark secrets leads to a harrowing conclusion.
