Note: It is highly suggested that you watch "Stealing Sunrise" prior to the sequel "Stealing Sunrise 2: Malibu Trail" as all plot(s), characters, references, & more rely solely on knowledge from the prequel.
"STEALING SUNRISE":
It's 1986 and Eddie has just been released from prison as he awaits a reunion with his criminal gang which consists of his younger mentally slow brother Harold, reckless friend Dallas, and Eddie's girlfriend/Dallas's sister Lisa.
Upon Eddie's release from prison, he has promised them a move to paradise using the money from the job that had landed him in jail. But when Eddie realizes that Dallas has squandered the money while Eddie was incarcerated, they all four attempt to make that money back fast by pulling a series of "jobs" combining their skills to afford them the chance to retreat to the beach paradise they had originally planned on. As they try to lay low in an unfamiliar town along the way, they find that the persistent Sheriff Porter on their trail, isn't their only obstacle as mutiny between them looms. Is there enough room and money for all four of them to earn an early retirement to a daily sunrise over the ocean far away?
With its 80's era influenced soundtrack, montages, & authentic relics, it is a trip down memory lane for any Gen X moviegoer.
"STEALING SUNRISE 2: MALIBU TRAIL":
Nine years after the 1986 crime-spree of Bunch, Sheriff Pat Porter's daughter "Gina" receives some unexpected news from those events which compels her to continue the case to fulfill her deceased father's legacy. That news brings her some unlikely help from a few characters of the past in not only finding out what became of the whole fiasco, but she also finds that together, they have a chance to make everything right. This sets them on their path to Malibu and proves to be no fun as there are others on the same mission, but with their own sinister agenda... including king of the Malibu underworld, Markovich. It's a "who's getting who" martial arts action adventure with a superb soundtrack by Night Runner.
