Billionaire drug-lord Carl Stegner hides out in a heavily guarded mansion in the Caribbean. He is wanted by the US Government for a host of fraud, bribery and corruption charges. However, before Stegner can be indicted, the government’s star witness is murdered. Adele Tasca, the murdered man's widow, is a woman with a finely honed taste for revenge. She goes to the Justice Department and suggests a radical and totally illegal idea - kidnap Stegner. She recommends Jerry Fanon her former lover and a professional bounty hunter to nab her husband's killer and bring him back to face justice... even if it kills him. Fanon and Adele enlist the aid of Catlett, a powerful, professional thief with a taste for adventure.

Vic (Christopher Walken) is a struggling auto mechanic and family man with a safe cracking past and a lot of debt. When young Michael (Peter McDonald) appears on his doorstep, claiming to be a cousin from Ireland, Vic reluctantly offers shelter and assistance. Ironically, Michael has come to America to benefit from the man he believes is a successful mobster – as legend back home tells it. What he finds in Vic is completely different. When Michael joins forces with neighborhood guys looking for an easy score, Vic is backed into a corner where one last heist seems the only way out. The Opportunists is a story of a proud man, who can’t seem to do the right thing, no matter how hard he tries.

Michael Cimino's controversial epic of corrupted idealism, set during the bloody Johnson County Wars of the 1890s, was detested by a majority of film critics upon its release and is now the subject of the "re-revisionism" that affects the reputation of many films and works of art. Some critics now regard "Heaven's Gate" (the film that almost brought down an American film studio) as a masterpiece...a film ahead of its time. The enormous cast includes Kris Kristofferson, Christopher Walken, Sam Waterston, Isabelle Huppert, John Hurt, Brad Dourif, Joseph Cotten, Jeff Bridges, Geoffrey Lewis, Richard Masur, Terry O'Quinn, Mickey Rourke and Willem Dafoe. The extraordinary cinematography is by Vilmos Zsigmond.
