ELVIS (1979)

Directed by John Carpenter

Starring

Kurt Russell, Shelley Winters, Bing Russell, Robert Gray, Season Hubley, Pat Hingle, Melody Anderson, Ed Begley Jr., James Canning, Charles Cyphers, Peter Hobbs, Les Lannom, Elliott Street, Randy Gray, and Will Jordan

This is the rare television movie that started the collaboration between master horror director John Carpenter (Escape From New York, The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China) and leading man Kurt Russell.

Russell realistically portrays Elvis from his beginnings as a 35-dollar-a-week truck driver to one of the most popular music and film stars the world has ever seen.

The film has the King about to return to the stage in his heroic Las Vegas comeback show, but he gets a death threat on opening night! Alone in his hotel room, Elvis flashes back to his past, now a million miles away. He remembers his rebellious youth in Mississippi, his early days in Memphis, then his meteoric rise to fame and fortune and the one true love of his life, Priscilla.
