Dalton (Patrick Swayze) is the best bar bouncer I the business, but he's anything but 'typical'. He's a little small for his trade, has a degree in philosophy and he believes in "being nice". But when he's hired to clean up the Double Deuce in the small town of Jasper, he's pushed to his breaking point. Now it's "no more nice guy" for Dalton as he starts busting heads, leading him to the all-time, no-holds-barred showdown of the century.

Road House (1989)
114 min
The Double Deuce is the meanest, loudest and rowdiest bar south of the Mason-Dixon Line, and Dalton has been hired to clean it up. He might not look like much, but the Ph.D.-educated bouncer proves he's more than capable – busting the heads of troublemakers and turning the roadhouse into a jumping hot spot. But Dalton's romance with the gorgeous Dr. Clay puts him on the bad side of cutthroat local big shot Brad Wesley.
