Everyone wants a piece of the action.
From Elmore Leonard, the author of Get Shorty, comes this "devilishly unpredictable, wonderfully wicked tale" (American Movie Classics) that proves that a good miracle can be a great thing... especially when you have the merchandising rights.
Emerging from years of seclusion, Juvenal (Skeet Ulrich) goes to work in an L.A. clinic... and casually begins healing the sick with just a touch of his hands. To the laid-back Juvenal, his abilities are no big deal. But to the hustlers who want to turn him into a superstar, he's a walking, talking miracle! But when Juvenal falls for the attractive Lynn Marie Faulkner (Bridget Fonda), he no longer feels like touching anybody else in town! And suddenly his bogus "business partners" are forced to wake up and face reality: their golden boy could be slipping through their fingers...
With a terrific supporting cast that includes Christopher Walken, Tom Arnold, Gina Gershon, Lolita Davidovich, Paul Mazursky and Janeane Garafolo, Touch is a sharp, offbeat comedy and divine entertainment.
