Witness (1985)
from Everything Actioncast Hosted by Zach Sheets
This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris head to Amish country and discuss the 1985 Harrison Ford movie Witness, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Ford is John Book, a Philadelphia Detective Captain who is investigating the murder of an undercover cop in a bathroom in 30th Street Station. The only witness is Samuel Lapp, an 8-year-old Amish boy who reveals that the murderer is Lt. McFee (Danny Glover), who is part of a group of corrupt cops who stole valuable chemicals used to make Speed. With only his partner to trust, Book gets Samuel and his mother and recently widowed Rachel (Kelly McGillis) back to their home in Lancaster County, but a gunshot injures him, and he has to recover and lie low on the Lapp family farm. Zach and Chris discuss evil Danny Glover, death by corn, Harrison Ford acting like a creep watching Rachel give herself a sponge bath, Viggo Mortensen's first film role, and more. You can rent or buy Witness on digital platforms like Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. Next week, we're celebrating Valentine's Day with the original My Bloody Valentine from 1981.
