While in post-production on a low-budget exploitation film, Philadelphia sound technician Jack Terry (Travolta) is told by his producer that he needs a more realistic sounding scream and better wind effects. After leaving the studio to record potential sound effects at a local park, he sees a car careen off the road and plunge into a nearby creek. Jack dives into the water to help, discovering a dead man and a young woman, still alive, trapped inside the submerged car. He pulls her to safety and accompanies her to a local hospital. Jack learns that the driver of the car was the governor (and a presidential hopeful); the girl was an escort named Sally (Allen). Associates of the governor attempt to whitewash the incident by concealing that Sally was in the car, and they convince Jack to smuggle Sally out of the hospital with him.

Michel Descombes (Philippe Noiret) est horloger dans le quartier de Saint-Paul à Lyon. Un matin, deux policiers se présentent à son atelier et le questionnent sur son fils, sans vouloir lui dire ce qui est arrivé. Il est immédiatement accompagné hors de Lyon sur le lieu où sa camionnette a été retrouvée, vide. Là, le commissaire Guilboud (Jean Rochefort) lui apprend que son fils a tué un homme. Tout au long de l'enquête l'incompréhension entre père et fils se manifeste. Le fils en cavale est arrêté avec sa compagne, et ne s'explique que confusément sur son acte. Peu à peu, Michel se solidarise avec son fils (ce qu'il proclamera d'ailleurs lors du procès). Des échanges de propos anodins dans l'anonymat du parloir montrent, à la fin du film, qu'une véritable connivence s'est installée.

As an old man nearing the end of his life, Adso, youngest son of the Baron of Melk recounts how, as a young novice in 1327, he accompanied his mentor, the Franciscan friar William of Baskerville to a Benedictine abbey in Northern Italy. The abbey had been chosen as the site for a theological debate between the Franciscan order and the Pope on the poverty of Christ. The abbey is already home to a famed scriptorium where scribes copy, translate or illuminate books. The mysterious recent death of the monk Adelmo of Otranto - a young but famous illuminator - has stirred fears among the abbey's devout inhabitants. The Abbot seeks help from William, known for his deductive powers. The illuminator's death cannot be dismissed as a suicide because the body was found at the foot of a tower having only a window which cannot be opened. William is reluctant to involve himself, though he is persuaded not only because of the intellectual challenge, but also because of his desire to disprove fears of a demonic culprit in Adelmo's death. William is also motivated to act by his fears that the Abbot will summon officials of the inquisition if the mystery remains unsolved.
