Cape Fear (1991)

In a quaint town resides Sam Bowden, a legal expert dealing with corporate matters. On the flip side, there's Max Cady, a menacing figure adorned with tattoos and a penchant for cigars, known for his unsettling habit of quoting scripture and his criminal tendencies. Their unexpected link traces back to a pivotal event fourteen years prior - when Sam, functioning as a defender, failed to disclose a crucial piece of evidence to his client, Cady, during a trial for rape. Fast forward to the present, Cady, with his cunning ways, has now regained his freedom and harbors a vindictive agenda against Sam Bowden and his loved ones, aiming to impart a harsh lesson on the weight of loss.
