Silver Star

When Billie learns that her estranged parents' lives are at risk, she tries to help them by robbing a bank. In her botched robbery attempt, she takes a hostage named Franny, who turns out to be a charmingly impulsive pregnant teenager with nothing left to lose. Together, Billie and Franny embark on a chase through scenic American landscapes, clashing and struggling for common ground in hopes for a brighter future.

The Matador

The life of Danny Wright, a salesman forever on the road, veers into dangerous and surreal territory when he wanders into a Mexican bar and meets a mysterious stranger, Julian, who's very likely a hit man. Their meeting sets off a chain of events that will change their lives forever, as Wright is suddenly thrust into a far-from-mundane existence that he takes to surprisingly well … once he gets acclimated to it.
