A John Carpenter story served as the launching pad for Black Moon Rising. Veteran thief Quint (Tommy Lee Jones) is hired by the FBI to steal some politically volatile computer tapes. The owners of the tapes are displeased, and begin chasing Quint all over the countryside. Just when he's about to surrender his booty, Quint's car -- wherein the tapes are stored -- is stolen by Nina (Linda Hamilton). She delivers the car to her corporate-villain boyfriend Ryland (Robert Vaughn), who runs a hot auto ring. Nina then has second thoughts and decides to throw in with Quint...and round and round we go. The "Black Moon" of the title is the name Quint's high-tech, low-slung vehicle. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

An action-crammed John Carpenter story served as the launching pad for Black Moon Rising. Veteran thief Tommy Lee Jones is hired by the FBI to steal some politically volatile computer tapes. The owners of the tapes are sore displeased, and begin chasing Jones all over the countryside. Just when he's about to surrender his booty, Jones' car-wherein the tapes are stored-is stolen by Linda Hamilton. She delivers the car to her corporate-villain boyfriend Robert Vaughn, who runs a hot auto ring. Hamilton then has second thoughts and decides to throw in with Jones....and round and round we go, until the spectacularly destructive climax. Oh, before we forget: the "Black Moon" is the name Jones' high-tech, low-slung vehicle. It's no insult to the rest of the cast to observe that the Black Moon delivers the film's best performance. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
