Repo Man is a 1984 American science fiction black comedy film directed by Alex Cox and starring Emilio Estevez and Harry Dean Stanton. The film tells the story of Otto (Estevez), a young punk rock enthusiast who becomes a repo man after losing his job. He is introduced to the dirty and dangerous world of auto repossession by Bud (Stanton), a seasoned repo man.
Their adventures begin when they are assigned to repossess a 1964 Chevrolet Malibu that is rumored to be carrying something top secret in its trunk. Along the way, they encounter a group of punk rockers, a waitress who wants to become a nuclear physicist, and a homicidal televangelist, among other eccentric characters.
As Otto becomes more involved in repo work, he becomes increasingly disillusioned with the world around him, leading to a series of surreal and sometimes violent encounters. The film's themes include consumerism, alienation, and the search for meaning in a world gone mad.
Repo Man is regarded as a cult classic and has been praised for its irreverent humor, punk soundtrack, and commentary on American society. It has inspired numerous homages, references, and parodies in popular culture, and is considered a landmark of independent filmmaking.
