Synopsis

Shot and left for dead by his unfaithful wife and treacherous partner during a heist in the abandoned cells of Alcatraz Island, an impassive, relentless criminal enforcer named Walker awakens like a vengeful ghost, marching in loud, synchronized footsteps through modernist Los Angeles high-rises to retrieve his exact $93,000 share from a bureaucratic corporate syndicate: 'I want my money.' John Boorman's revolutionary neo-noir masterpiece starring Lee Marvin and Angie Dickinson.
