An illicit affair between an accountant locked in an unhappy marriage and a seductive Las Vegas beauty leads them both down a dangerous path. Grant (Leo Grillo) loves his daughter, but can't stand the sight of his wife. Determined to make a killing in Las Vegas, he heads into a local casino and crosses paths with Marissa (Katherine Heigl). Before long the pair are back in Grant's hotel room, where things quickly get hot and heavy. But it all goes wrong when Marissa's violent ex-boyfriend Joey (Tom Sizemore) crashes through the door in a fit of rage. When the smoke clears, Joey is dead. Determined not to spend the rest of their lives in prison, Grant and Marissa plot to bury the body on Zyzzyx Road. When the corpse goes missing, the couple starts to question whether Joey was ever really dead in the first place. They get their answer when Joey mysteriously reappears, resuming the fight under the dark desert sky. Eventually the two brawlers realize they've been drawn into a mystery where no one can be trusted, and each move could be their last.

From IMDB:
- This film is known for being the lowest-grossing movie in USA history, grossing only $30.

- This movie only sold six tickets in its entire theatrical run, 2 of which were from people who worked on the film.

The 4K will probably cost more than it made in its theatrical run!

Yeah…i only know this one by its financial reputation. Maybe I’ll blind buy. Hmmm.

Thanks for posting the trailer. If it grossed $30, it may have still managed to cover expenses.

[DR Herbert West]

I'm in.

[Mose Harper]

Badger game with a couple more (predictable) twists on top of it, I'm guessing.

[Chaz05]

I remember the news story on Box Office Mojo when this one opened. Crazy!

[JRcanReid]

I've never heard of the actor Leo Grillo, but he looks like an alternate universe amalgam of Harvey Keitel and Chris Cooper.

[ImBlu_DaBaDee]

Watch this movie get a better 4K release than Lord of the Rings

[deet]

Presumably this release will include the Legacy of Zyzzyx Road retrospective (no idea what that legacy is, other than "the answer to a trivia question").

[Comcam]

The road off the 15 right before Baker. Never did get off and drive it.

John Penney is actually my dad's cousin, though I've never met him before. I messaged him once when I was younger and wanted to be a scriptwriter/filmmaker and he was nice enough to humor me lol. Always wanted to check this out so I'll be happy to pick up a copy.
