Albino Alligator (1997) - Movie Synopsis & Plot

This film marks the directorial debut of Kevin Spacey. This dark and unusual mix of comedy and drama begins as a case of mistaken identities, and soon develops into an exploration of eight characters caught in a situation they can neither control nor predict. On the run from a robbery gone awry, three small time criminals - Dova, Milo and Law - speed through a federal stakeout and crash their getaway car. They take refuge in the first place they find Dino's Last Chance Bar, a perfectly maintained watering hole from the Prohibition era with an important distinction -there's only one way out.

Before they can figure their next move, the trio find themselves surrounded by the police, the media and a determined ATE agent, and are forced by circumstance to remain in the bar alone with five patrons - Janet, Dino, Danny, Jack and Guy. This cat-and-mouse story follows these characters as they discover the choices they must make, and find that those choices can be as unsettling and perilous as life itself.
