Breakfast of Champions (25th Anniversary Restoration)
"It's all life until you're dead."
25 years after its initial release, Kurt Vonnegut’s biting portrayal of America’s mad chaos, BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS returns in a restored 4K version. Directed by the brilliant Alan Rudolph and starring Bruce Willis, Nick Nolte, and Albert Finney, this zany and incisive film has been overlooked for far too long.
In our current turbulent election period, there’s no better time to rediscover and pay tribute to Rudolph’s unique cinematic vision and the timeless relevance of Vonnegut’s work. BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS is back, ready to provoke thought and captivate audiences all over again.
The film tells the story of Dwayne Hoover (Willis), a famous car dealer and the most respected man in Midland City. The American success formula has left Dwayne rich and famous, but also empty and suicidal. He suspects dark motives emanating from his wife (Barbara Hershey), his sales manager (Nick Nolte), and his lover/secretary (Glenne Headly). When Dwayne has a volatile, astonishing encounter with outrageous science fiction writer Kilgore Trout (Finney) at the Midland City Fine Arts Festival, neither they nor the city is ever the same.
