Straight to Hell is a 1987 cult classic film directed by Alex Cox. The film stars a cast of punk rock musicians, including members of The Clash and The Pogues, as well as actors such as Dennis Hopper and Grace Jones.
After successfully robbing a bank, the gang of four outlaws - known as the "Simms brothers" - head out to the desert to hide out. Along the way, they accidentally hit a woman with their car and take her along with them. When they arrive at their destination, they bury the money and hope to wait out the heat.
Their hiding spot turns out to be a surreal and bizarre town full of cowboys who drink a ton of coffee. The town is ruled by the vicious McMahon clan, who terrorize the locals and keep the coffee flowing. The gang quickly finds themselves in trouble when they cross paths with the McMahons and their loyal posse.
The film features stunning desert landscapes, shootouts, and surreal characters like the coffee-addicted cowboys, a pastor who preaches from a pool, and a vengeful woman seeking revenge against the Simms brothers.
Straight to Hell is a unique blend of Western and punk rock aesthetics, with a soundtrack featuring songs by The Pogues and Joe Strummer. The film has gained a cult following over the years for its offbeat humor, dynamic soundtrack, and unforgettable characters.
