Patrick Swayze is the arm-folding, ass-kicking, women-charming bouncer of the meanest, loudest and rowdiest bar south of the Mason-Dixon Line in this 1989 brawler. Tasked with cleaning the joint up, his task becomes deadlier than he thought when he catches the unwanted attention of ruthless big shot Brad Wesley (Ben Gazzara).
