Directed by Tony Scott (Top Gun, Beverly Hills Cop II), Revenge stars Kevin Costner as Michael "Jay" Cochran, a Vietnam War veteran and recently retired Navy pilot who is invited to Mexico by his old friend Tiburon (Anthony Quinn), a wealthy, ruthless power broker. At his palatial estate, Jay is drawn to Tiburon's new wife, the young and beautiful Mireya (Madeleine Stowe), and finds himself torn between his loyalty to his friend and his passion for Mireya. When Tiburon-Spanish for shark-discovers that his friend and his wife are cheating on him, he has Jay beaten and left for dead, and packs Mireya off to a brothel. Jay, recovering with the help of a Mexican farmer, sets out to find Mireya and settle the score with Tiburon.
