Film Synopsis

A John Carpenter story served as the launching pad for Black Moon Rising. Veteran thief Tommy Lee Jones is hired by the FBI to steal some politically volatile computer tapes. The owners of the tapes are sore displeased, and begin chasing Jones all over the countryside. Just when he's about to surrender his booty, Jones' car-wherein the tapes are stored-is stolen by Linda Hamilton. She delivers the car to her corporate-villain boyfriend Robert Vaughn, who runs a hot auto ring. Hamilton then has second thoughts and decides to throw in with Jones... and round and round we go. The "Black Moon" of the title is the name Jones' high-tech, low-slung vehicle.
