Synopsis:

Though there are several actors in Fool for Love, two share the majority of screen time: Sam Shepard as Eddie, and Kim Basinger as May. May toils away at a fleabag motel; Eddie is her former love, long absent. Unexpectedly re-entering May's life, Eddie picks up where he left off, and soon the couple is alternately bickering violently and making love with equal fervor. Peripheral characters include Harry Dean Stanton as a boozed-up bum, Martha Crawford as an aristocratic would-be murderer, and Randy Quaid as the current man in the heroine's life. This one-two punch of iconoclastic playwright Sam Shepard and unconventional director Robert Altman proved a failure at the box-office and with critics.

Sam Shepard's award-winning play, full of mystery, humor and beauty, becomes a perfect screen adapta-tion. Cowboy drifter Eddie (Shepartd) reconnects with May (Basinger) the love of his life, in a seedy desert motel - even though she's taken up with a new boyfriend. But that's not the only threat to their rekindled passion. A mysterious old man also harbors a secret so dark and forbidden, it could destroy Eddie and May's love forever.

May is waiting for her boyfriend in a run-down American motel, when an old flame turns up and threatens to undermine her efforts and drag her back into the life that she was running away from. The situation soon turns complicated.
