Description

Tom Ripley (Dennis Hopper) is an American sociopath who sells forged paintings in West Germany. Jonathan Zimmerman (Bruno Ganz) is an idealistic art restorer dying from a rare blood disease. But when Ripley arranges for the desperate family man to carry out a high-paying mob hit, the two form an uneasy bond steeped in the rivetting thriller Ripley's Game by Patricia Highsmith.

Legendary American filmmakers Nicholas Ray and Samuel Fuller co-star in this worldwide cult hit co-written and directed by Oscar-nominee Wim Wenders.
