Road House

Road House

Dalton lives like a loner, fights like a professional. And loves like there's no tomorrow.

R 1989 · 114 min · ★ 6.8 (2K) · Action, Thriller

The Double Deuce is the meanest, loudest and rowdiest bar south of the Mason-Dixon Line, and Dalton has been hired to clean it up. He might not look like much, but the Ph.D.-educated bouncer proves he's more than capable – busting the heads of troublemakers and turning the roadhouse into a jumping hot spot. But Dalton's romance with the gorgeous Dr. Clay puts him on the bad side of cutthroat local big shot Brad Wesley.

Directed by Rowdy Herrington · Written by R. Lance Hill
