Story Synopsis

Snipes stars as Bobby Rayburn, a cocky four-time League RBI champ who has just turned his .310 lifetime batting average into a $40 million paycheck. Gil Renard (De Niro), a recently fired salesman, has closely followed Rayburn’s career and, unlike some people, remains true to him even as his star seems to be slipping into a fade. When Renard discovers that the inexplicable career slump might have its roots in Rayburn’s rivalry with a teammate, the fan will stop at nothing to restore his idol’s reputation—even if it comes down to murder. Based on Peter Abraham’s novel, The Fan is a darkly tense thriller.
