Overview
Sam Bowden is a small-town corporate attorney. Max Cady is a tattooed, cigar-smoking, Bible-quoting, psychotic rapist. What do they have in common? 14 years ago, Sam was a public defender assigned to Max Cady's rape trial, and he made a serious error: he hid a document from his illiterate client that could have gotten him acquitted. Now, the cagey Cady has been released, and he intends to teach Sam Bowden and his family a thing or two about loss.

00:08:38 Sam, I want to play in this lifetime.
00:12:29 ...like the old times, dock the houseboat.
00:18:03 What makes you think he wants to harm you?
00:21:49 -"Badger." -Why not them?
00:26:21 ...then he died.
00:30:55 Watch my arm. It might be broke.
00:34:36 Yeah? Do tell.

01:13:29 Wait, honey. I'm sorry.
01:19:47 ...Mr. Cady wouldn't have surreptitiously taped our meeting...
01:23:41 If Cady breaks into your home...
01:29:56 Listen to your father. Do what they say. What else can you do?
01:38:49 ...and it cancels all promises and obligations.

01:53:40 But there it was in the court file.
50:00:00 and that's like $10 a day.
