Tom Ripley (Dennis Hopper) is an American sociopath who sells forged paintings in Germany. Jonathan Zimmermann is an idealistic art restorer dying from a rare blood disease. But when Ripley arranges for the desperate family man to carry out a high-paying mob hit, the two forge an uneasy bond steeped in deceit, corruption and cold-blooded murder in the riveting thriller that The Boston Phoenix called "the best-acted, most beautifully photographed and most exciting work of the New German Cinema yet to be shown in this country."
