Terrified, he calls on Mikey (Falk), the one person he thinks can save him. Scripted to match the live-wire energy of its starsāalongside supporting players Ned Beatty, Joyce Van Patten, and Carol Graceāand inspired by real-life characters from Mayās own childhood, this unbridled portrait of male friendship turned tragic is an unsung masterpiece of American cinema.
