Subscribe FreeRaising Arizona is an outrageous dark comedy about parenting—sort-of. Holly Hunter stars as Ed, the cop who repeatedly books H.I. McDonnough (Cage) for his addiction to robbing convenience stores. When H.I. temporarily gives up his criminal ways to marry her, things go well with the newlyweds until Ed painfully announces that she is barren. Adoption is not an option because of H.I.’s criminal record. About this time, wealthy Nathan Arizona and his wife become the proud parents of quintuplets. And feeling the Arizonas have their hands full, H.I. and Ed decide to share in their blessing by taking one of the babies as their own. Tension builds within the new family when H.I.’s old prison buddies come calling and a Lone biker is bent on finding the missing Arizona infant.
