An ordinary guy with a crooked friend discovers no good deed goes unpunished in the
comedy On The Run.
Albert (
Michael Imperioli) is having a quiet evening at home when he gets a call from his old pal
Louie (
John Ventimigila), whom he hasn't heard from in years. There's a good reason for this --
Louie's been in prison. Ever since childhood,
Louie has never been able to stay out of trouble, though whenever they're together, the blame for
Louie's indiscretions always seems to fall on
Albert's shoulders.
Louie calls
Albert to tell him he's just broken out of jail and would like
Albert to meet him at the bus station.
Albert calls the police to tell them a fugitive is due on the next bus, but he soon thinks better of it and makes a dash to the depot, hoping to warn
Louie in time.
Louie manages to evade the cops, but
Albert soon finds himself stuck with
Louie for the evening, as he's dragged along for a progressively more dangerous series of misadventures where he's always left holding the bag. Though directed by a Portuguese filmmaker and financed by French and Portuguese production companies,
On the Run was filmed on location in New York City, with English dialogue and a primarily American cast.
