Broken Angel (Full Frame)

VHS, 94 minutes, MGM

It's modern day Los Angeles. Do you know where your children are? "Star Trek's" William Shatner gives a gripping portrayal as a '90s parent forced to bring his daughter back from the wrong side of the tracks. Jamie Coburn (Erika Eleniak of E.T. and Under Siege) is a high school student who has it all: good looks, great grades... and a membership in one of Los Angeles' most dangerous and notorious gangs. When her best friend is killed by rival gang gunfire, Jamie disappears, leaving her family and the police with very few clues as to her whereabouts. Believing that his daughter is an "angel," a confused Chuck Coburn (Shatner) begins an investigation of his own. But as he delves deeper into the inner workings of the gang networks, Coburn begins to discover more about his daughter, his family and even himself. As timely as today's headlines, "Broken Angel" is a shocking tale which grimly portrays the pressures faced by today's teenagers and the depths to which they must go in order to make it in the world.
