Synopsis
American Heart tells the story of a recently released convict (Jeff Bridges) pursued by his 12-year-old son (Edward Furlong), who hungers for a father and insists on joining him on Seattle's skid row.
Production
The film's non-Hollywood realism can be explained by its origins. First came "Streetwise," a series of documentary photographs of Seattle street kids, for Life magazine, by Mary Ellen Mark. Next Mark and her husband, Martin Bell, produced a documentary film called "Streetwise." The screenplay for "American Heart," the fictionalized dramatization, was based on this material.
