Two Navy men are ordered to bring a young offender to prison but decide to show him one last good time along the way. Directed by Hal Ashby (Harold and Maude) and written by Robert Towne (Chinatown), this "gem of a film" (Judith Crist, New York Magazine) stars Jack Nicholson in an Academy Award®-nominated performance as Buddusky, a street-tough sailor. When he is tasked with escorting a charge (Randy Quaid) to naval prison, Buddusky decides they're never going to make it unless he and his partner (Otis Young) show the young screw-up one last good time.
