Kansas City ( 1996 )

Kansas City, 1934.

The mob runs the dice games, prostitutes, cops and politicians. And no one messes with them.

But when a small time hood gets the bright idea to knock over a buddy of the city´s top gangster, a club owner named Seldom Seen (Harry Belafonte), he crosses the wrong man and finds himself in deeper trouble than he could ever imagine. Now it´s up to Blondie O´Hara (Jennifer Jason Leigh), his tough-talking girlfriend, to come to his rescue. Her solution? Kidnap a wealthy presidential advisor´s wife (Miranda Richardson) and swap her for her boyfriend.

Kidnapping, murder and mayhem - all fueled by the most impressive, star-studded cinematic jazz sessions ever shown on screen.
