After completing Apocalypse Now, Francis Ford Coppola initially planned for his next picture to be an intimate romantic musical shot on a low budget in Las Vegas. Three years later, One from the Heart had become a big-budget spectacular, shot on strikingly stylized sets at his newly opened Zoetrope Studio. Singer/songwriter Tom Waits received an Oscar nomination for his song score, which he performed with country crooner Crystal Gayle, but the spiralling production costs (the projected budget was $2 million, the actual cost exceeded £25 million) led to Coppola declaring bunkruptcy
Las Vegas. It's the 4th of July. Hank (Frederick Forrest – Hammett and Apocalypse Now) and Frannie (Teri Garr – Tootsie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind) break up while celebrating their 5 year anniversary. They both set off in search of new partners and in no time, Frannie meets a suave singer-waiter (Raúl Juliá – The Escape Artist, The Addams Family) and Hank meets a lovely circus performer (Nastassia Kinski – Tess, Cat People). But they still love each other, and their search for romance brings them back into each other's arms.
