К сожалению, его останавливает полиция. В багажнике его машины находят труп. Он попадает в тюрьму.Сутенер Джек, подставленный своим врагом, тоже попадает в руки закона и оказывается в одной камере с Заком. Вскоре в их маленькой камере появляется Роберто, приятный, смешной итальянец, знающий всего несколько фраз по-английски и обожающий американские фильмы.В конце концов все трое совершают побег и оказываются в луизианских болотах, где теряются, голодают и падают с ног от усталости…

Deutsch
Ein nicht sehr erfolgreicher Zuhälter und ein gescheiterter Radio-DJ landen in einer Gefängniszelle in Louisiana für Verbrechen, die sie nicht begangen haben. Schon nach kurzer Zeit wird ihnen klar, dass sie einander nicht ausstehen können. Da bekommen sie einen neuen Zellennachbarn: Der italienische Tourist Roberto bringt die beiden mit seinem Optimismus und dem kaum verständlichen Englisch schnell auf die Palme, behauptet aber auch, den Weg nach draußen zu kennen. Das einzige Problem: sollte die Flucht wirklich gelingen, wissen die drei nicht wohin...

Italiano
Jack, un magnaccia di mezza tacca, Zack, un dee-jay di quart'ordine e Roberto, un turista italiano, si ritrovano rinchiusi nella cella di una carcere di New Orleans. I primi due sono vittime delle proprie sciagurate scelte di vita, il terzo si trova in pratica lì per caso. Ma è proprio lui a dar forza ai compagni di cella, dapprima con la sua verve comica, poi riuscendo a trovare il classico passaggio segreto che conduce alla libertà. Dopo svariate avventure, Roberto troverà anche l'amore, mentre gli altri due andranno ognuno per le propria strada.

普通话
  奥尔良监狱里新来了两个“无辜”的罪犯:Zack(汤姆·威兹 Tom Waits 饰)和Jack(约翰·劳瑞 John Lurie 饰)。Zack是一个DJ,被女友抛弃后在街上浪荡的他接受了一个朋友的工作:把一辆车开到一个地方,路上他却被警察拦了下来随后在车后座发现了一具尸体;而Jack则被一个老朋友所说服,去见一个年轻貌美的妓女,就在他准备享受一番之时,警察破门而入将他带走。不久,监狱里又来了一个意大利杀人犯Bob(罗伯托·贝尼尼 Roberto Benigni 饰)。三人在一间牢房里闹了不少笑话。百无聊赖的他们计划逃狱,竟然成功了。三人艰辛走过沼泽地,穿过树林,来到了一个意大利女人Nicoletta(尼可莱塔·布拉斯基 Nicoletta Braschi 饰演)住的小屋。Bob和Nicoletta两个意大利人沉浸在爱河中,最后只剩下Jack和Zack继续上路,而他们两人又将在面对岔路口时走向何方......   本片由美国独立电影导演吉姆·贾木许Jim Jarmusch执导,为一部黑白电影,参加了1986年的戛纳电影节。

Nederlands
DJ Zack en pooier Jack belanden in de gevangenis vanwege misdaden die ze niet hebben gepleegd. Zij komen terecht in een cel met de vrolijke, optimistische Roberto. Deze Italiaan spreekt gebrekkig Engels en vormt daardoor een komisch en soms zwaar irritante aanwezigheid.

Polski
Zack, bezrobotny disc-jockey, zostaje wyrzucony z mieszkania przez swą przyjaciółkę, Laurettę. Wpada w ręce policjantów podczas przewożenia kradzionego samochodu z jednej części miasta do drugiej. Jack, drobny stręczyciel zostaje namówiony do odwiedzenia hotelu, w którym znajdować się ma 18-letnia dziewczyna, świetny "materiał" na prostytutkę. Ale oto w pokoju hotelowym czeka na niego 10-letnie dziecko-dziewczynka... i oczywiście policja. W ten o to sposób Zack i Jack trafiają do tej samej celi w orleańskim więzieniu. Wkrótce dołącza do nich trzeci - "makaroniarz" Roberto.

Español
Tres hombres muy diferentes se conocen al compartir celda en una cárcel de Louisiana. Zack es un DJ; Jack, un chulo de poca monta y Roberto, un turista italiano.

Český
Minimalistický snímek o zatčení, uvěznění a společném útěku tří naprosto odlišných mužů: Zacka, Jacka a Boba.

Português
Em Louisiana, Laurette tem uma discussão com seu namorado, o DJ Zack também conhecido como Lee Baby Simms, e rompe com ele. O doido Zack bebe álcool pelas ruas e seu amigo Preston lhe oferece US $ 1.500 para dirigir um Jaguar para o outro lado da cidade. No entanto, há um problema - um homem está preso no porta-malas do carro. Zack é preso e enviado para a prisão Orleans Parish. Enquanto isso, o cafetão Jack é detido por seu conhecimento do crime, preso e colocado na mesma cela que Zack. Quando o italiano Roberto, também conhecido como Bob, que não fala Inglês muito bem se junta a eles na mesma cela, o trio desenvolve uma estranha amizade. Bob propõe um meio de escapar da prisão.

Magyar
Zack és Jack két kisstílű csibész. Mindkettőt behúzták a csőbe, és mielőtt leesett volna náluk a tantusz, hűvösre kerültek. A lemezlovas Zack azért került rács mögé, mert a kölcsönjárgányában egy hullát találtak, a selyemfiú Jacket viszont a riválisa szívatta meg, így kiskorú lány futtatása miatt gyűlt meg a baja a törvénnyel. A börtöncella harmadik lakója az olasz Roberto, akinek be nem áll a szája, viszont alig ért angolul. Gyilkosságért ül, véletlenül agyonütött egy embert biliárdgolyóval. Roberto alaposan felkavarja az állóvizet, ügyeskedése eredményeként hármójuknak sikerül lelépnie.

Türkçe
Birbirinden farklı üç karakter olan Zack, Jack ve Roberto, bir hapsihane hücresinde biraraya gelirler. Roberto'nun hiçbir şeyi kafasına takmayan sevimli halleri, ilk başlarda Zack ve Jack'in çok sinirine dokunsa da aynı hücrede kalmak zorunda olmalarından dolayı bu duruma katlanmak zorunda kalırlar. Hapisten kaçmayı kafalarına koyan ikiliye, Roberto yardım edebileceğini söyleyince üçü birden bir kaçma planı yaparlar * John Lurie, Tom Waits ve kendisine hayran kaldığım Roberto Benigni ile bir başka Jarmusch filmi. başlarda can sıkıntısı üzerine başka bir film gibi görünse de Benigni'nin aynı koğuşa düşmesiyle film biraz neşe bulur * Espiri ve çekişme dolu bir kaçış ve yol hikayesi olan film usta yönetmen Jim Jarmusch imzası taşıyor.

Português
Um DJ desempregado, um cafetão amador e um turista italiano desafortunado se encontram na mesma cela prisional por crimes que não cometeram. Juntos, os três planejam sua fuga e logo vão parar nas florestas de Louisiana, sem refúgio à vista.

ελληνικά
Ένας ιταλός τουρίστας που μιλάει ελάχιστα αγγλικά, ένας άνεργος ντι-τζέι, κι ένας μαστροπός της «πλάκας», βρίσκονται φυλακισμένοι στο ίδιο κελί στη Λουϊζιάνα, κατηγορούμενοι για αδικήματα που δεν διέπραξαν. Κανένα κελί όμως δεν είναι αρκετά μεγάλο για να χωρέσει αυτούς τους τρεις απίθανους και τόσο διαφορετικούς μεταξύ τους τύπους.

български език
Джак и Зак - двама суперготини неудачници, се запознават в нюорлиънски затвор. Отначало са настроени един против друг, но скоро ги разсейва пристигането на Роберто, чийто лош английски, спомени от стари филми и цитати от Робърт Фрост на родния италиански едновременно ги дразнят и забавляват. Накрая обаче именно този сладкодумен, винаги оптимистично настроен дребен човек отвежда двамината самопровъзгласили се за яки типове към свободата.

日本語
ニューオーリンズで暮らす落ち目のDJザックは、ある男から車を預かるが、それが原因となり無実の罪で逮捕される。刑務所の同じ房にいるジャックというチンピラとは、全くウマが合わない。しかし後から収監された陽気でやかましいイタリア人、ロベルトが脱獄を提案。

한국어/조선말
삼류 건달 잭과 한물 간 라디오 DJ 잭은 억울한 누명을 쓰고 감옥에 갇히는 신세가된다. 하루하루를 무료하게 보내고 있던 중, 이탈리아인 밥이 그들의 감방 동료로 들어오고 밥은 잭과 자크와 어울려 감방 생활에 적응해 나간다. 그러던 어느 날 도주로를 발견한 밥이 탈옥을 제안하고, 셋은 감옥에서 나와 또다른 방랑을 시작한다.

svenska
DJ Zack och hallicken Jack hamnar i fängelse eftersom de är för slöa för att försöka undvika att bli haffade för brott de inte begått... De får dela cell med den excentriske optimisten Roberto, vars begränsade kunskaper i det engelska språket är både underhållande och irriterande. Desto mer användbart är det faktum att Roberto känner till en rymningsväg. Tredje delen i en trilogi om amerikansk pop/trashkultur sett genom en utomståendes ögon.

普通话
奧爾良監獄裡新來了兩個「無辜」的罪犯:Zack(湯姆·威茲飾)和Jack(約翰·勞瑞飾)。Zack是一個DJ,被女友拋棄後在街上浪蕩的他接受了一個朋友的工作:把一輛車開到一個地方,路上他卻被警察攔了下來隨後在車後座發現了一具屍體;而Jack則被一個老朋友所說服,去見一個年輕貌美的妓女,就在他準備享受一番之時,警察破門而入將他帶走。不久,監獄裡又來了一個意大利殺人犯Bob(羅伯托·貝尼尼飾)。三人在一間牢房裡鬧了不少笑話。百無聊賴的他們計劃逃獄,竟然成功了。三人艱辛走過沼澤地,穿過樹林,來到了一個意大利女人Nicoletta(尼可萊塔·布拉斯基 飾演)住的小屋。Bob和Nicoletta兩個意大利人沉浸在愛河中,最後只剩下Jack和Zack繼續上路,而他們兩人又將在面對岔路口時走向何方......

No one foresees the strangest and most dangerous repercussion that will soon start plaguing the town: The Dead Don't Die – they rise from their graves and savagely attack and feast on the living – and the citizens must battle for their survival.

Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai summary, synopsis, reviews
Ghost Dog: The Way of the SamuraiDrama2000

Jim Jarmusch combined his love for the ice-cool crime dramas of Jean-Pierre Melville and Seijun Suzuki with the philosophical dimensions of samurai mythology for an eccentrically postmodern take on the hit-man thriller. In one of his defining roles, Forest Whitaker brings a commanding serenity to his portrayal of a Zen contract killer working for a bumbling mob outfit, a modern man who adheres steadfastly to the ideals of the Japanese warrior code even as chaos and violence spiral around him. Featuring moody cinematography by the great Robby Müller, a sublime score by the Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA, and a host of colorful character actors (including a memorably stone-faced Henry Silva), GHOST DOG: THE WAY OF THE SAMURAI plays like a pop-culture-sampling cinematic mixtape built around a one-of-a-kind tragic hero.
