Brian De Palma's Philadelphia-based thriller, steeped in paranoia-based conspiracy, pits a low-rent audio specialist (John Travolta) as an "ear witness" to an assassination.  He soon convinces a black-mailer (Nancy Allen) whose in over her head as his accomplice.  But deranged killer (John Lithgow) is out to tie off all loose ends.  All this and split screens!
