Released from a six-year stint in prison, a career thief (Dustin Hoffman) is determined to go straight and live a simple existence. He stays clean and starts a new romance, but he’ll never get an even break. And when a belligerent parole officer (M. Emmet Walsh) pushes too far, it ignites his simmering resentment and sets him off on a reckless new course. A captivating character study that crackles with authenticity, Straight Time features one of Hoffman’s best performances, plus an electrifying supporting cast that includes Theresa Russell, Gary Busey, and Harry Dean Stanton.
