Biography

Après avoir enchaîné des films d'auteur qui furent de très grands succès (M.A.S.H., Harold et Maude), il est l'un des plus jeunes acteurs à être distingué au début des années 1970 : nommé pour les prix Golden Globe du meilleur acteur (1972) et BAFTA de l'acteur le plus prometteur (1973), récompensé par une Étoile de Cristal par l'Académie du cinéma de Paris (1973), plus une distinction exceptionnelle : honoré à 25 ans pour sa courte carrière par la Cinémathèque française, comme l'ont été avant lui seulement quelques acteurs emblématiques (Charles Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Laurence Olivier, Orson Welles).

En 1979, alors en pleine ascension professionnelle, il est victime d'un terrible accident de voiture qui le laisse défiguré, bras et jambe cassés. Cet accident eut de nombreuses répercussions autant dans sa vie privée que professionnelle : procès perdu, carrière altérée, et surtout onéreuses et multiples interventions chirurgicales plastiques et réparatrices assorties d'une physiothérapie qui lui coûtèrent toutes ses économies.

Nate (Mickey Rourke), a small-time jazz musician and recovering heroin addict, is clearly a hard-luck case. After a performance one night, he is mugged and bound. He awakens to find himself in a vehicle and being driven out into the desert, but he is helpless to do anything about it. His assailant then walks Nate away from the car, and is about to kill him, but instead the assailant is shot dead by a band of Native Americans, and Nate is left unharmed. Nate wanders around in the desert and climbs a mountain, where he looks down upon a carnival and sideshow. He walks through the carnival, asking the owner to use a telephone, and he wanders among the fire eaters, sword swallowers, and other performers. Nate finds himself drawn to the exotic beauty of Lily (Megan Fox), a freak performer who has wings on her back. Lily is cold and dismissive, but it dawns on her that this gentle giant may well be her ticket to a better life. The sideshow owner (Rhys Ifans) attempts to kill Nate, but Lily rescues him by stealing a truck, and together they flee to the city.

John Person (his stage name) is an out-of-work actor living in Los Angeles, with credit card debt of almost $28,000. Across the hall from him lives his friend, Grace. One night, his nebbish neighbor Neely, who wears a neck brace, invades his apartment with an unusual request: deliver a large blue suitcase to the truck stop of Baker, California, where it will be picked up by a man named "Cowboy", for which he will be given $25,000. John is also given a gun to defend against anyone taking the case. He initially refuses and thinks the plan is insane, but Neely has a file containing much of John's personal information, including masturbation preferences and sperm sample test results. Realizing that Neely is serious, John takes the job, but demands that he be given $28,000 to pay off his debts. Neely agrees, and John drives to Baker.

Bartleby (Affleck) and Loki (Damon) are fallen angels, banished for eternity from Heaven to Wisconsin for insubordination after an inebriated Loki (with Bartleby's encouragement) resigned as the Angel of Death. When the trendy Cardinal Glick (Carlin) announces that he is rededicating his cathedral in Red Bank, New Jersey in the image of the "Buddy Christ", the angels see their salvation: Anyone entering the cathedral during the rededication festivities will receive a plenary indulgence; all punishment for sin will be remitted, permitting direct entry into Heaven. They receive encouragement from an unexpected source: Azrael (Lee), a demon, once a Muse, also banished from Heaven (for refusing to take sides in the battle between God and Lucifer); and the Stygian Triplets (Barret Hackney, Jared Pfennigwerth, and Kitao Sakurai), three teenage hoodlums who serve Azrael in Hell.
