舞台はイリノイ州シカゴ郊外。ある朝ベッドでテレビの討論番組を見ていたジョンQ(デンゼル・ワシントン)は表でがちゃがちゃと何かの機械が動く音に気付き、血相を変えて飛び出すとローンの不払いで妻デニーズ(キンバリー・エリース)の車が差し押さえられ回収されようとしているところだった。ジョンは妻が仕事に行けなくなる、と訴えるが差し押さえ人はそれならローンを払え、と冷たく言い放ち、妻の車は無情にも回収された。ジョンはつい最近会社のリストラの対象となり、フルタイム(正社員)からパートタイム(バイト)に格下げされ、給料が目減りして生活が苦しかったのだ。朝食の席でも眉間にしわを寄せて新聞の求人広告欄をにらみ新しい収入源を見つけようと必死になった。パートタイムに格下げされたため仕事は半日で終わり、工場勤務のため不慣れなネクタイを締めて副業を手に入れようと面接を受けるが「資格過剰」を理由に落とされ続けた。

The video kicks off from a 1978 performance of 'Rosalita' with a 29 year old Bruce wailing away with chicks jumpin' on the stage grabbing him! Lucky guy! The other songs featured include all the popular tunes like 'Born To Run', 'Born In The USA', 'I'm On Fire' and 'Glory Days'. Even some lesser known songs such as 'Spare Parts' (from 'Tunnel Of Love' album) and 'Tougher than the rest' from 'Tunnel Of Love' also which are both live. I like Bruce Springsteen a lot. He has the edge as a showman and musical innovator without losing the plot onstage. Fans will love this video for it's authentic live performances, music videos and classic Springsteen songs. Great

The tales showcase an ensemble of familiar faces, and range from stories of compassion and love to reflections on violence and loss. Among them: a disabled beggar quarrels with a woman and ruins her shoes with his wheelchair, provoking onlookers to wrath and pity; a skittish tourist proves to be her own worst enemy; a newlywed trysts with a mysterious sexpot; a commuter helplessly witnesses a suicide attempt; and, in the most affecting segment, a young woman grieves over her mother's imminent death.

Caroline and Lloyd are a married couple constantly at each other's throats, masters at crafting acid-tongued barbs at the other's expense. Indeed, they are so obsessed with belittling each other that they never stop -- not even at gunpoint. The gunman is Gus, a thief on the run from the police, who kidnaps the couple as an insurance policy, planning to use their home as a hideout. But their incessant bickering proves more than Gus bargained for, forcing him -- for the sake of his own sanity -- into the unenviable role of peacemaker. To make things even worse for Gus, he discovers that he has taken the couple hostage the night of their big Christmas party, and the guests are already on the way. Not wanting to leave Lloyd and Caroline unattended, Gus opts to attend the party, pretending to be the couple's marriage counselor. This naturally leads to a series of comic confusions, as the hostage crisis and marital tensions head towards their inevitable conclusion.
