"A prize package and a bundle of joy, one that puts a fresh, funny face on the American comedy movie." —Rita Kempley, The Washington Post

"Starting from a point of delirious excess, the film leaps into dark and virtually uncharted territory to soar like a comet."—Geoff Andrew, Time Out

Nicolas Cage, Holly Hunter and John Goodman lead an all-star cast in Ethan and Joel Coen’s celebrated comedy. Once he decides to give up crime, a small-time robber (Cage) proposes to a pretty cop (Hunter). But when the newlyweds learn they can’t conceive a baby, they decide to steal one from a couple who seem to have one to spare — since they just had quintuplets! With its outrageous plot, fast-paced action and even some wild pyrotechnics, Raising Arizona will forever have a place in the hearts of lovers — and film lovers — everywhere.
