A
John Carpenter story served as the launching pad for
Black Moon Rising. Veteran thief
Quint (
Tommy Lee Jones) is hired by the FBI to steal some politically volatile computer tapes. The owners of the tapes are displeased, and begin chasing
Quint all over the countryside. Just when he's about to surrender his booty,
Quint's car -- wherein the tapes are stored -- is stolen by
Nina (
Linda Hamilton). She delivers the car to her corporate-villain boyfriend
Ryland (
Robert Vaughn), who runs a hot auto ring.
Nina then has second thoughts and decides to throw in with
Quint...and round and round we go. The "Black Moon" of the title is the name
Quint's high-tech, low-slung vehicle.
