Road House

“Dalton lives like a loner, fights like a professional. And loves like there's no tomorrow.”

James Dalton (Patrick Swayze) is a Ph.D.-educated bouncer with a quiet manner and a reputation for cleaning up the worst bars around. He takes a job at the Double Deuce in Jasper, Missouri, a roadhouse so loud and rowdy the staff barely control it. When he starts seeing Dr. Elizabeth Clay (Kelly Lynch), local boss Brad Wesley (Ben Gazzara) takes notice. Rowdy Herrington stages the bar fights with plain, hard-hitting energy.
