Synopsis
Amazingly, At Close Range was based on a true story. Bored teenager
Sean Penn
meets his prodigal father (
Christopher Walken
) for the first time in years. Though Penn is vaguely aware that his father is a criminal, he is nonetheless impressed by his dad's high life style and creature comforts. But Walken's veneer of charm is fragile indeed, and it becomes clear that he is willing to kill anyone--even his family--if they get in his way. When Walken rapes Penn's girl friend (
Mary Stuart Masterson
) to keep the boy from cooperating with the DA, it is only a warm-up for the horrors to come. The screenplay for At Close Range was written by Nicholas Kazan, the son of prominent film director
Elia Kazan
