In a bizarre series of murders, all of the victims of a ruthless Houston killer are found covered with bird droppings. The police soon close in on the prime suspect--a young man who lives in the Astrodome sports arena and dreams of flight. One of director Robert Altman`s most offbeat, fascinating films, it features most of the Altman stock company from his Vietnam War comedy M*A*S*H, including actors Bud Cort, Rene Auberjonois, Sally Kellerman, Michael Murphy, and John Schuck.
