| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Blind Horizon |
|---|
BLIND HORIZON is a film directed by Michael Haussman in 2003.
Frank Kavanaugh has just been found severely injured in the head in the desert near Blackpoint, New Mexico. He's suffering from amnesia and doesn't even recognize his fiancee Chloe Richards when she arrives from Chicago. The Sheriff Jack Kolb asks Frank to stay a few days in town while he's trying to understand what has happened. Meanwhile, Frank's memory begins to come back and he's quite sure that there will be soon an assassination attempt on the President of the United States and that he's got a role to play in it.
F.B.I. agents consider him as a lunatic as Frank is unable to even remember the actual name of the President. But when the Sheriff learns that, on the next day, the President will actually pass through Blackpoint because of an unexpected truck accident on the official course, he understands that Frank is right.
A subplot describes the last days of the election campaign between the sheriff Jack Kolb and his deputy Shirl Cash who tries to discredit Jack.
