| Claire Danes as Alice Brokedown Palace is also known as Two
Girls (working title).
This film is directed by Jonathan
Kaplan and is currently in theatres.
Summary (from
FOX Movies):
It promises to be a liberating adventure for Alice (Claire Danes),
a wild, living-on-the-edge teenager. To celebrate her high school
graduation, she and her best friend Darlene (Kate Beckinsale) have
decided to treat themselves to an exotic trip. Although Alice and
Darlene have told their parents that they're headed to Hawaii, the two
girls' actual destination is Bangkok ("Las Vegas without parents
and laws," Alice enthuses to the more cautious Darlene).
Under the
magical and golden Thailand sun, Alice and Darlene have the time of
their lives. But things begin to change after they meet a seductive
and handsome Australian, Nick Parks (Daniel Lapaine). Both girls are
smitten with Nick, who eventually asks Darlene to spend the night with
him much to the surprise of the more outgoing Alice, who must
fight growing feelings of resentment and anger about her friend's
romantic conquest.
When
Nick proposes a quick side trip to Hong Kong, Darlene convinces Alice
to come along. Nick's real plans, however, are anything but romantic.
At the Bangkok airport, the two girls are shocked when heroin is found
in their luggage. As they are surrounded by Thai police and DEA
officers, Alice and Darlene are caught up in a maelstrom of hysteria,
panic and confusion, each suspecting the other of a dark betrayal.
Their
mutual suspicion intensifies during their first yearof a 33-year
sentence in a hideous Thai prison ruefully described by its inmates
as the "Brokedown Palace." As their despair grows, they are
given one last bit of hope: "Yankee Hank" (Bill Pullman), an
expatriate American lawyer. But Alice, who has always been the more
reckless and irresponsible of the two, eventually realizes that their
salvation can only come from sacrifice ... and she realizes how far
she'll go to save her friend.
