John Cryer stars in this meld of a 1980s teen comedy and a mob film as Andrew, a young stockbroker who's scheduled to testify against the mob. However, Andrew runs for his life after assassins kill an FBI agent protecting him. Shaving his beard and bleaching his hair, Andrew assumes the guise of a high school student and finds himself ill suited to go through high school once again. However, when he becomes enchanted with one of the school's female students, Andrew not only finds it difficult to act his age around her parents, but also begins rethinking his life. Unfortunately, before he has much time to relive his high school days, he's spotted by the mob, forcing Andrew to make a difficult decision. [More]

Reviews for Hiding Out
