Cisco Pike

Cisco Pike, Kris Kristofferson, stars as a musician forced by a corrupt LAPD policeman, Gene Hackman as Officer Leo Holland, to sell 100 kilos of confiscated marijuana in one weekend. After being arrested, Cisco is blackmailed by Holland into selling the marijuana to pay off his debts. He visits various contacts, including his musician friend Rex, played by Harry Dean Stanton, and groupie Merna, played by Viva, in an attempt to sell the drugs and raise the money he needs. Meanwhile, tensions with his girlfriend, Sue, played by Karen Black, escalate as Cisco becomes increasingly involved in the drug trade.
