Road House is a 1989 American action film directed by Rowdy Herrington and produced by Joel Silver. The film stars Patrick Swayze, Ben Gazzara, Kelly Lynch and Sam Elliott. In the film, a bouncer at a newly refurbished roadside bar protects a small town in Missouri from a corrupt businessman.[4]
Road House has achieved cult status and was voted as the most watched film on cable in 2020.[5][6] The film was followed by a direct-to-DVD 2006 sequel that was widely panned, and was then remade in 2024.
