Brad McCullum has just killed his mother with a samurai sword and taken hostages. Outside police officer Hank Havenhurst interrogates McCullum's girlfriend and neighbors and continues to unravel a story of a deeply confused and troubled man. A man who has suffered from increasing problems of distinguishing between imagination and reality, something that reached a turning point when he participated in a play at the local theater about a man who kills his mother. Cult director Werner Herzog, with the notorious David Lynch as a producer, has made a film that is one of a kind at the intersection of policemovie and psychodrama.
