Out of Bounds is a 1986 film directed by Richard Tuggle and starring Anthony Michael Hall.

Synopsis

In Out of Bounds, Hall portrays Daryl Cage, an Iowa farm boy whose parents send him to live in Los Angeles with his brother. At the airport, Cage accidentally gets his suitcase full of checkered flannel shirts switched with one containing a drug kingpin's heroin. The drug kingpin has Cage's brother murdered, but the police suspect Cage himself of the crime. Cage seeks vengeance against the kingpin while attempting to clear his own name.

Other Details and Trivia

Hall had recently achieved fame as the star of a number of "teen" movies, such as Sixteen Candles
(1984), The Breakfast Club
(1985), and Weird Science
(1985). Hall was eager to avoid being typecast into those roles, and opted to star in Out of Bounds as a way to contrast his previous work.

The film soundtrack featured songs by Stewart Copeland & Adam Ant, Robert Berry, Night Ranger, Belinda Carlisle, The Smiths, The Cult, Sammy Hagar, and Siouxsie & The Banshees.

At least two other theatrical films (released in 1992 and 2004) and one made for TV movie (1977) have also shared this name, (as did a 2001 A&E Biography of Mary Kay Letourneau) but none has enjoyed the box-office success of the 1986 film, which earned just over US$5,000,000.
