Snake Eyes/Bringing Out the Dead

Box set containing two explosive action thrillers. In 'Snake Eyes' (1998), while attending the Tyler-Ruiz heavyweight championship boxing match with his friend Kevin Dunne (Gary Sinise), corrupt cop Rick Santoro (Nicolas Cage) witnesses the assassination of Charles Kirkland (Joel Fabiani), the Secretary of Defense whom Dunne was supposed to be protecting. Santoro takes charge of the case, attempting to track down Julia Costello (Carla Gugino), an attractive young woman who talked to Kirkland just before he was shot. Julia, wounded in the shooting, has taken refuge in a casino, but when Santoro interrogates her he discovers some disturbing facts. 'Bringing Out the Dead' (1999) is a darkly comic thriller from the creative team behind 'Taxi Driver'. New York paramedic Frank Pierce (Cage) is close to cracking up: his graveyard shift is taking its toll, and he is tortured by visions of those he could not save from death. Over three successive nights with three different colleagues - Larry (John Goodman), Marcus (Ving Rhames) and Walls (Tom Sizemore) - Frank searches desperately for salvation, seemingly unable to halt his slide into madness and despair.
