Cutter's Way (1981) is a neo-noir crime thriller directed by Ivan Passer, based on the novel *Cutter and Bone* by Newton Thornburg. The film follows Richard Bone (Jeff Bridges), a laid-back, disillusioned drifter, and his close friend, Alex Cutter (John Heard), a bitter, disabled Vietnam War veteran. When they witness a wealthy man, J.J. Cord (Stephen Elliott), seemingly dispose of a body, Cutter becomes convinced that Cord is involved in a murder and is determined to expose him. The film explores themes of moral ambiguity, friendship, and the blurred lines between heroism and obsession, all set against the backdrop of a gritty, morally complex world. Though it was a box-office disappointment upon release, *Cutter's Way* has since gained a cult following for its dark, atmospheric tone and strong performances.
