Rick Schroder and
Brad Pitt are cast as unlikely brothers in
Across the Tracks. Schroder is a drug-dealing layabout, while Pitt is a hardworking "model son" (talk about casting against type!) When Schroder begins straigtening himself out by becoming a high school track star, Pitt suffers the pangs of jealousy, retreating into alcohol. Now it is Ricky's turn to reform Brad! Filmed in 1989,
Across the Tracks lay unwrapped until 1991, by which time Brad Pitt had become a first-magnitude movie star.
