| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
A contemporary drama set in Washington, D.C., THE WALKER centers
around Carter Page (Woody Harrelson), a well-heeled and popular
socialite who serves as confidant, companion, and card partner
to some of the capitol's leading ladies. These pampered women
are married to the most powerful men in America, and when
their husbands are too busy running the country to attend
to their wives, they turn to their "gay best friend,"
Carter, for warmth, wit, and wisdom.
Carter's loyalty is tested when his dearest friend (Kristin
Scott Thomas) finds herself on the brink of a scandal that
could destroy her reputation and her husband's career. Offering
to cover for her, Carter suppresses incriminating evidence,
only to find himself the chief suspect in a criminal investigation.
Suddenly, this well-connected man-about-town is a pariah,
hounded by the police and forced to find the true culprit
and clear his name. More importantly, he must re-examine whether
it is important to be accepted by a society based on betrayal,
hypocrisy, and corruption.
A tale of moral redemption that takes the form of a mystery-thriller,
THE WALKER is the third part of Schrader's "lonely man"
trilogy that began with "American Gigolo" (1980)
and also includes "Light Sleeper" (1992).
