Boiling Point is a 1993 American action crime film starring Wesley Snipes and directed by James B. Harris, who was also the film's writer. The film co-stars the late Dennis Hopper, Lolita Davidovich, Viggo Mortensen, the late Paul Gleason, and Tobin Bell. It is based on the novel Money Men by former U.S. Secret Service agent Gerald Petievich, who co-wrote the screenplay.
Red (Dennis Hopper), an ageing con artist, is released from prison together with the easily-led Ronnie (Viggo Mortensen), a young hoodlum.
