Made in U.S.A. (1987 film)

Made in U.S.A. is a 1987 American crime drama / black comedy film directed by Ken Friedman from a screenplay by Zbigniew Kempinski.

The film stars Adrian Pasdar and Chris Penn as two young men who decide to leave behind their working-class lives in the coal-mining country of Pennsylvania and travel to California.

The soundtrack features songs and score by the American band Sonic Youth, who in 1995 released an album (also titled Made in USA) of music they had recorded for the film.

Friedman first showed his version, without the permission of Hemdale, who held the copyright, at the 1987 Cannes Film Festival.

As a condition of the settlement, Hemdale decided to rename the title to Made in U.S.A., according to documents filed in federal court.
