The Passenger

A weary journalist assumes the identify of a dead man -- and all of the intrigue that comes along with it -- in Michaelangelo Antonioni's international thriller, "The Passenger" (1975). After discovering the corpse of a recent acquaintance, American reporter Jack Nicholson starts taking on the late gun runner's appointments with the crime bosses of North Africa and Europe. A lonely traveler in over his head, he finds a kindred soul in an equally mysterious woman (Maria Schneider). This re-released version includes Antonioni's 126-minute cut.
