Paris, Texas

Travis Henderson (Harry Dean Stanton), missing for four years, reappears in the American desert, exhausted and amnesiac. Little by little, he begins to recall his life, being welcomed by his brother Walt (Walt Henderson), who is responsible for Hunter, Travis's son. As complete strangers, Travis and Hunter begin to build a friendship and conspire to find Jane (Nastassja Kinski), Travis's ex-wife, and bring her back to form a real family.
