Sunchaser (titled on-screen as The Sunchaser) is a 1996 film directed by Michael Cimino and starring Woody Harrelson, Jon Seda and Anne Bancroft. It was director Cimino’s last feature-length film. A theatrical release was intended but the film fared poorly enough with test audiences to go straight to video in the United States. The film was entered into competition at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival where it was nominated for the Palme D’Or.
