Fred Madison eltűnik börtöncellájából - ahol feleségének brutális meggyilkolásáért tartják fogva - és helyén a megrémült Pete Daytont találják, aki képtelen megmagyarázni, hogyan került a börtönbe és hogy hol szerezte titokzatos fejsérülését... Két történet, ugyanazzal a nővel, aki hol szőke, hol barna parókában csábít és hajszol a bűn felé. A nagymenő, hatalmát fitogtató pornókirály, kényszerképzetekkel és hallucinációkkal vívódó, sodródó férfihősök és vér, erőszak minden mennyiségben. Talányos cselekményvezetés, melyben a sorsokat valami misztikus, mágikus erő kapcsolja össze. Egy dolgot kivéve semmi sem biztos ebben a Möbius-szalag-szerű filmben: ne lepődj meg, ha a Gonosz ismerősként köszön, hisz mindennapos vendég a házadban, a lelked már rég az övé. Senki sem az, akinek látszik. David Lynch varázslatosan sötét álomvilágában a szereplők, akár egy maszkot, úgy cserélik arcukat és személyiségüket.
Lost Highway is a 1997 psychological thriller directed by David Lynch. It is arguably an example of contemporary film noir, but with surreal imagery and themes. Lynch co-wrote the screenplay with Barry Gifford, with Angelo Badalamenti composing the score. Lost Highway is also notable for the last film appearances of Richard Pryor, Jack Nance, and (as of 2008) Robert Blake.
Fred Madison answers his intercom to hear the words "Dick Laurent is dead." Fred is a jazz musician who appears to share an extremely tense relationship with his wife Renee, who he suspects may be cheating on him.
The Madisons find a package outside their house one morning that contains a videocassette tape showing the outside of their home. The camera zooms in on their door before cutting out. Although they dismiss the tape as "from a real estate agent," the couple finds a second tape the next day. This tape is longer, and shows the camera moving through their living room, and eventually into their bedroom, where both Fred and Renee are clearly visible, asleep. Panicked, Renee contacts the authorities and tells them what has happened thus far.
Two police detectives, Al and Ed (John Roselius and Lou Eppolito), arrive to investigate, but they are unable to solve the mystery, as there are no signs of entry anywhere in the house. Fred mentions to the officers that they don't own a video camera because he "likes to remember things [his] own way ... not necessarily the way they happened." The Madisons tell the officers that they have disabled their security system due to "false alarms," but they agree to re-arm it. Later, Renee takes Fred to a party hosted by a sleazy man named Andy (Michael Massee), with whom it becomes obvious Renee has some sordid history. While Renee enjoys herself at the party, Fred meets a stranger (Robert Blake) whose name is not revealed, although Andy later mentions that he might be a "friend of Dick Laurent's." Fred and the Mystery Man begin an extremely cryptic conversation, in which the Mystery Man tells Fred that they have met before, and that in fact he is at Fred's house at that moment. Fred scoffs in disbelief, but agrees to call the house using the Mystery Man's cell phone as a proof test, only to hear the Mystery Man answer at the other end. Before Fred can learn how it is possible for the Mystery Man to be in two places at once, and how he got into the house, the Mystery Man walks away.
Shaken, Fred conducts a search of their house when he and Renee return, but he finds no intruder. While Renee is getting ready for bed, Fred walks through the house and finds himself standing in front of a long vortex-like corridor which he doesn't remember being there before. Fred walks down the long, dark corridor and disappears. Renee walks out of the bedroom looking for Fred, calling out to him as she stands at the foot of the corridor. A minute later, Fred emerges from the dark corridor, followed by a shadow figure. The next morning, Fred finds another tape outside the house. It seems the same as the last one, but as the camera moves into the bedroom, it shows Fred on the floor with the bloody, bisected body of Renee. We next see Fred in a chair at a police station, where he is punched in the face by the same two police detectives, Al and Ed, who now call him a murderer. Fred pleads his innocence, but then immediately becomes confused, and wonders if he truly has killed his wife.
