Storia
Grand Canyon (1991) weaves together the stories of six diverse residents in modern-day Los Angeles whose lives intersect in unexpected ways. At its core, the film chronicles the unlikely friendship between Mack (Danny Glover), a wealthy African American lawyer who becomes stranded in a dangerous neighborhood after his car breaks down at night, and Simon (Kevin Kline), a white, middle-class family man from the suburbs who risks his life to help Mack when he's attacked by muggers. Their bond deepens as they navigate the challenges of their respective lives, with Mack dealing with his son's incarceration and Simon struggling with marital issues. Other characters include Simon's wife, Deborah (Mary McDonnell), a womanizing dentist; Simon's friend, Stuckey (Steve Martin), an entrepreneur with a mysterious business venture; Mona (Alfre Woodard), a single mother who runs a restaurant in South Central Los Angeles; and Owen (Tyne Daly), a TV producer who becomes obsessed with her boyfriend's violent dreams.
