Quicksilver (1986)

What is it about?

A high-rolling stock market wiz trades his three-piece suit for a ten-speed bike after a catastrophic day on the trading floor wipes out his fortune. Jack Casey (Kevin Bacon) seeks redemption on the steep streets of San Francisco as a bicycle messenger, finding a new kind of adrenaline rush alongside his eccentric colleagues, including the spirited Hector (Paul Rodriguez) and the competitive Voodoo (Laurence Fishburne). But when a fellow rider named Terri (Jami Gertz) gets entangled with a dangerous drug dealer, Jack must decide if he’s ready to stop running from responsibility and use his drive to save her.
