Synopsis
Un caïd de la mafia, Carboni (Michel Perron), décède dans les bras d'un policier québécois gaffeur, Prudent Poirier (Guy A. Lepage). Au même moment en France, un agent des services secrets, Mohammed Choukroune "Ventura" (Rachid Badouri), est assigné par son patron à se rendre au Québec afin de parvenir à en savoir plus sur Carboni. Celui-ci détenait en effet des renseignements importants concernant une affaire sur laquelle enquêtaient les services de police français. Au fil de leur enquête, les deux policiers vont s'apercevoir que leurs patrons respectifs cachent de lourds secrets et fomentaient une fin funeste pour chacun d'entre eux.Actors

Sven "The Swede" Sorenson (Marlon Brando) is a malicious warden of the county, illegally executing some of his worst prisoners. Everybody in town hates and is scared of him, except his twin daughters (Holly Watson and Christin Watson). Swede's twins tell their father they're pregnant, lying in order to manipulate him into forcing their dim boyfriends, Bud Dyerson (Charlie Sheen) and Larry (Thomas Haden Church), into shotgun marriages. He also turns his sons-in-law into slave laborers, so Bud hatches an escape plan to rob a train carrying old bills to the mint for burning. Larry is his reluctant accomplice. When Bud is captured, he is railroaded into Swede's small-town jail by the Judge (Donald Sutherland) and Swede. His death looks certain, until he hatches yet another plan that requires Larry's help. Meanwhile, Judge's daughter and FBI Agent Karen Polarski (Mira Sorvino), come to his aid.

Devenu vieux, Stevens Brown se remémore son histoire, au milieu des tableaux représentant les personnages de sa jeunesse. Après une violente querelle avec son père et cinq longues années d’exil, il était revenu au village. Pour tous il avait été le bienvenu. Pour le révérend Nicolas Jones, il était l’enfant prodigue. Tous l’avaient accueilli, sauf son père. Maureen, une veuve encore jeune, l’avait recueilli. Il était devenu son amant. Mais sa flamme c’était Olivia, Olivia Atkins, sa belle cousine, dont la figure demeurait indélébile dans ses souvenirs tourmentés. Il y avait son frère simple d’esprit, Perceval, surpris à observer Olivia et Nora qui se baignaient. Lui-même avait cherché à séduire Olivia, même si c’était Nora qui lui manifestait de l’intérêt. Les drames s’étaient succédé. Un premier était survenu un soir de fête. Irène, la femme du révérend, s’était suicidée en se jetant du haut d’une falaise. Irène était stérile et se refusait à son mari. Ce dernier avait séduit Nora. Perceval le lui avait appris. Puis, par soir de tempête, Olivia avait rejoint Stevens sur la grève.

In 1928, Amelia Earhart (Diane Keaton) gains fame by undertaking a transatlantic flight, albeit as a passenger. Her marriage to media tycoon George Palmer Putnam (Bruce Dern) and a series of record-breaking flights propel her to international fame as a long-distance flyer. With help from a close friend and adviser, Paul Mantz (Paul Guilfoyle), Earhart and her navigator, the hard-drinking Fred Noonan (Rutger Hauer), plan her longest flight ever: a round-the-world attempt in 1937. The interest in Japanese-held islands may lead to her disappearance, and a massive search effort is unsuccessful, but solidifies Earhart as an aviation icon.
