Jack Terry (Travolta) on ääniteknikko halpoja kauhuelokuvia tehtailevassa tuotantoyhtiössä. Eräänä iltana Terry joutuu todistamaan kauhistuttavaa näkyä: auto syöksyy sillalta veteen vieden kaksi ihmistä mukanaan. Terryn onnistuu pelastaa autosta nuori nainen (Nancy Allen), mutta auton kuljettaja menehtyy onnettomuudessa. Onnettomuuden uhri paljastuu merkittäväksi presidenttiehdokkaaksi. Terry alkaa epäillä: oliko kyseessä sittenkään onnettomuus? Ja oliko sillalta kuulunut pamaus pistoolinlaukaus? (Future film)

Great detective story working with the main character of a sound engineer, who is part of a small film company. In the lead role is John Travolta, who showed a perfect performance after Grease. I also like the correct 80s atmosphere in this detective story, as well as the immense love for films that can be felt in the plot. The scenes where John plays with sound could be endless, and I would still watch them eagerly. A very solid affair. Properly gloomy for its time, and that's something I really like in American films from that era.

An (audio) pulp version of Blow Up that starts as a typical seventies conspiracy film and ends as a typical eighties chilling thriller with an uncompromising conclusion. But it is the symbiosis of the trio De Palma/Zsigmond/Donaggio that puts the crown on it.

Blow Out is an incredible acting recital by John Travolta who perfectly mastered the role of a sound engineer, Jack Terry. Sound plays a huge role in this movie and De Palma is well aware of it and lets us hear things which can’t usually be heard in an ordinary movie. And what is more, he does some incredible things with the camera (the lead-in scene of the film or the 720° circular dolly shot). The movie also has a very strong conspiracy atmosphere and the ending is completely superb. And they even managed to get the scream that they were searching for so long.
