About the movie

Repo Man narrates the story of Otto Maddox, a young punk rocker portrayed by Emilio Estevez, who is hired by a car repossession agency. Initially, everything goes smoothly, but Otto soon finds himself caught in a chaotic series of events that lead to unexpected twists.

The official synopsis for the movie, highlighted by Apple TV Plus, where it is currently available in selective regions, reads:

"Emilio Estevez and Harry Dean Stanton team up to prove that anything worth having is worth stealing back in this non-stop action-comedy. After frustrated punk rocker Otto Maddox (Estevez) quits his dead-end supermarket job, he's hired by Bud (Stanton) to work as an apprentice "repo man."

"In no time, the rookie is caught up in a series of off-the-wall adventures involving government agents, UFO cultists, hired thugs and a lobotomized nuclear scientist, culminating in the search for an incredibly valuable '64 Chevy containing a secret that can change the course of civilization overnight! An explosive action-packed cult classic that combines the seedy underworld of car repossession with the quirky realm of science fiction."
