"John Updike's searing novel of a dreamer's disllusionment comes achingly alive on-screen in a compellingly moving and bracingly frank adaptation. Rabbit Angstrom (James Caan) is a 26-year-old unskilled worker living in Reading, PA, where he yearns for his glory days of being the fastest, most explosive athlete his high school had ever seen. Now, trapped in a loveless marriage to an alcoholic (Carrie Snodgress) pregnant with their unplanned child, Rabbit's lifetime of bad choices starts closing in on him fast. Desperate for a fresh start, Rabbit does what he does best: run. But when he hits the open road and takes up with a sometime prostitute (Anjanette Comer), he discovers what can happen when you trade the devil you know for the devil you don't."--Container.
