THE EXPERTS (1989) Movie on DVD

THE EXPERTS (1989) — DVD | John Travolta | Kelly Preston | Arye Gross | Rated PG-13

Two New York hipsters. One fake American town. Deep inside the Soviet Union. What could possibly go wrong?

Long out of print and notoriously hard to track down, The Experts is the ultimate cult comedy of the Cold War era — and one of the most delightfully absurd premises the late ’80s ever produced.

John Travolta and Arye Gross star as two hip but down-on-their-luck New Yorkers who think they’re relocating to a small town in Nebraska to open a nightclub. What they don’t know is that they’ve been abducted by a KGB operative to the Soviet Union, where they’ll unwittingly serve as “experts” on all things cool in America. The town, created expressly for KGB spies-in-training, includes seductive agent Kelly Preston, who gets into a real undercover situation with Travolta. Amazon Eventually, the two Yanks wise up — and the escape they cook up is anything but ordinary.

Directed by comedy great Dave Thomas of Strange Brew fame, this red-hot Cold War farce also features Deborah Foreman (Valley Girl), James Keach, and Brian Doyle-Murray. Kino Lorber
