Summary
Catchfire (1990) is a blend of action, drama, comedy, romance, and thriller genres directed by Alan Smithee (under the pseudonym 'Pat Fine') with Dennis Hopper appearing as an actor-director. The film revolves around Jodie Foster's character Anne Benton becoming entangled in Mafia affairs after witnessing a mob assassination. Despite its genre-blending approach, the plot is primarily driven by suspense and action, as Anne evades both law enforcement and criminals while trying to protect herself from Milo, who finds himself drawn to her.
