River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves star in Gus Van Sant's haunting tale of two young street hustlers: Mike Waters, a sensitive narcoleptic who dreams of the mother who abandoned him, and Scott Favor, the wayward son of the mayor of Portland and the object of Mike's desire. Navigating a volatile world of junkies, theives, and johns, Mike takes Scott on a quest from the grungy streets of Portland to the open highways of the Pacific Northwest, in search of an elusive place called home. MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO is a deeply moving look at unrequited love and life at society's margins.

Cast: River Phoenix, Keanu Reeves, James Russo, William Richert, Rodney Harvey, Michael Parker, Flea, Chiara Caselli, Udo Kier. Director Gus Van Sant.
