Keys to Tulsa Marsha Blackburn/Gramercy

Keys to Tulsa puts a spin on the tired tale of no-good slackers enmeshed in a web of crime. These ne'er-do-well ruffians are loaded — or at least their families are. Deep in trouble and debt, Richter Boudreau (Stoltz) returns to his native Tulsa looking for a handout from his fabulously wealthy mother (Moore). When she refuses to open her wallet to him, he's forced into a blackmail scheme by one of his debtors, Ronnie Stover (Spader), who is married to Boudreau's high-school sweetheart (Unger). Spader, looking a lot like Elvis, gives a strong performance as the drug-dealing ring leader.
