El Cortez is the story of an autistic man who attempts to
start a new life after his incarceration. After five years in
a prison for the criminally insane, Manny (Lou Diamond
Phillips, La Bamba) returns to Reno. He moves into a
motel and takes a job as a clerk at the Hotel El Cortez.
He is befriended by Popcorn (Bruce Weitz, Hill Street
Blues), a crippled prospector who seeks his help to
persuade Russo (Peter Onorati, Goodfellas), a wealthy
gambler, to invest in Popcorn’s gold mine. But Manny
cannot escape his past and is soon caught in a labyrinth
that leads to a murderous triple cross.
