The 1987 Coen Brothers’ Film, Raising Arizona, is one of the funniest films in the Coen Brothers’ library and helped launch Nicolas Cage’s idiosyncratic acting career. Cage plays H.I. McDunnough, an ex-con who, with his police officer wife, Edwina, decides to kidnap one of the five Arizona quintuplets when they can’t get pregnant. The movie is a live-action cartoon and the first film where the abductors are endearing. The first 11 minutes of the film chronicles H.I.’s repeated crimes and prison sentences, his marriage to Ed, their struggles with infertility, and their plan to kidnap.
