While recording sound effects for a slasher flick, Jack Terry stumbles upon a real-life horror: a car careening off a bridge and into a river. Jack jumps into the water and fishes out Sally from the car, but the other passenger is already dead — a governor intending to run for president. As Jack does some investigating of his tapes, and starts a perilous romance with Sally, he enters a tangled web of conspiracy that might leave him dead.

“Shimmering in red, white, and blue, BLOW OUT paints a patriotic yet cynical image of early 80s Philadelphia. Espionage, amateur detective work, and John Travolta’s incredible hair make this film a Fourth of July classic. Join us under the fireworks of Brian De Palma’s dazzling neo-noir this Fourth of July!”
