With a game, an Italian Jew (Roberto Benigni) shields his son (Giorgio Cantarini) from Nazi horrors in a concentration camp during World War II.

After a series of bizarre encounters, Loris is mistaken for a serial killer while an undercover policewoman sets out to provoke him to murder again.

Framed for crimes they didn’t commit, two men form an uneasy alliance with a killer who aids their daring prison escape and flight to freedom.

Aloof teenage Japanese tourists, a frazzled Italian widow, and a disgruntled British immigrant all converge in the city of dreams--which, in Mystery Train, from Jim Jarmusch, is Memphis. This triptych of stories pays playful tribute to the home of Stax Records, Sun Studio, Graceland, Carl Perkins, and, of course, the King, who presides over the film like a spirit.
