MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Sci-Fi/Thriller
Director: Graham Baker
Cast: James Caan, Mandy Patinkin, Terence Stamp, Kevyn Major Howard, Leslie Bevis

MPAA Rating: "PG"

Director: Frank Oz
Cast: Steve Martin, Michael Caine, Glenne Headly, Anton Rodgers, Ian McDiarmid, Ian McDiarmid

MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Drama
Director: Barry Levinson
Cast: Dustin Hoffman, Tom Cruise, Valeria Golino, Jerry Molen
