She attempts to uncover the truth of what occurred with the help of a former police officer she encounters while on the run.
Released by 20th Century Fox on Christmas Day 1986, the film received generally favorable reviews. Fonda received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in the film.[3]
