By far Wenders’ best-known and internationally most successful film, Paris, Texas is based on a script by Pulitzer Prize winner Sam Shepard and tells the story of Travis (Harry Dean Stanton, Repo Man, Alien), a man who wanders out of Mexico and into the blazing heat of Big Bend. Travis does not speak a word, but he is driven by his desire to reconnect with his family: his young wife, Jane (Nastassja Kinski, Cat People, Wrong Move), whose life he seems to have placed in danger through his pathological jealousy, and their seven-year-old son, Hunter (Hunter Carson). His brother, Walt (Dean Stockwell, Blue Velvet, Married to the Mob), flies from L.A. to Texas to bring back his lost sibling, who for four years was thought to be dead. In addition to the impressive performances by Stanton and Kinski, a unique, slide guitar-fueled soundtrack by Ry Cooder helped make Paris, Texas the cult film it is today.
