At Close Range is a 1986 American neo-noir[2] crime drama film directed by James Foley from a screenplay written by Nicholas Kazan, based on the real life rural Pennsylvania crime family led by Bruce Johnston Sr. which operated during the 1960s and '70s. It stars Sean Penn and Christopher Walken, with Mary Stuart Masterson, Crispin Glover, Tracey Walter, Christopher Penn, Eileen Ryan, David Strathairn and Kiefer Sutherland in supporting roles.
At Close Range was theatrically released by Orion Pictures on April 18, 1986, in the United States. It received mostly positive reviews from critics, with Penn's and Walken's performances receiving particular praise. Despite the warm reviews, the film was not a box office success, grossing a total of $2,347,000 at the North American box office, earning less than its production budget of $6,500,000.
