Crossroads (DVD)

Eugene Martone (Ralph Macchio, The Karate Kid and The Karate Kid Part II) struggles with the devil and his destiny when he goes down the Crossroads in this contemporary drama. With a potent blend of adventure, romance, and music, the film takes gifted young guitarist Martone into a dangerous and challenging new world. Obsessed with unlocking the mysteries of the blues, the fledgling musician finds cantankerous Willie Brown (Joe Seneca), a master of the blues harmonica, and frees him from prison. The unlikely duo hobos from New York to Mississippi as Martone searches for fame and Brown tries to break a contract he signed years ago with the devil. En route, Martone meets and falls for sexy runaway Frances (Jami Gertz, TV's "Still Standing", Twister). With a rich mixture of Delta blues and driving rock, produced by Ry Cooder (Buena Vista Social Club), the film takes Martone and Brown on an intense odyssey that leads them to a dramatic climax at the Crossroads
