Story Synopsis:
Sean Penn stars in U Turn whose car breaks down in Arizona. After dropping his car off at the small town’s only mechanic (Billy Bob Thornton), Bobby meets the beautiful Grace McKenna (Jennifer Lopez) and her husband, Jake (Nick Nolte)—and his one-time goal of getting out of town vanishes in the face of survival. Grace and Jake suck Bobby into a deadly game of lust, madness and money. Both offer him a way out—kill one for the other. John Ridley’s screenplay is based on his book “Stray Dogs.”
