Martin Scorsese’s Cape Fear (1991), starring Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte, and Jessica Lange, is a psychological crime thriller about vengeance and family terror. De Niro delivers one of his most infamous performances as ex-con Max Cady, who stalks the family of his former lawyer after being released from prison. With Scorsese’s stylized direction, intense performances, and themes of guilt, obsession, and fear, it became a definitive 1990s remake.
