The Music of Chance (1993)

In the sprawling expanse of America, we meet Nashe, an ex-fireman turned nomad, living off a hefty inheritance. His life takes an unexpected turn when he crosses paths with Pozzi, a penniless card shark with a flair for the game of poker. Brought together by the whims of fate, Nashe makes the surprising decision to bankroll Pozzi in a high-stakes card game against two peculiar millionaires, the eccentric Flower and Stone. The game promises a chance to reclaim some of his dwindling fortune, but as the cards are dealt, the gamble takes on a life of its own. The consequences are far from ordinary, plunging Nashe and Pozzi into a bizarre predicament that neither could have predicted. When the chips are down, they find themselves repaying their debts in a most unusual way - by constructing a seemingly purposeless stone wall across a lush meadow on the millionaires' sprawling estate. "The Music of Chance" is a mesmerizing tale of chance encounters and high-stakes gambles, richly adapted from Paul Auster's novel. It unravels a narrative that's as intriguing as the poker game that sets it in motion, filled with unforeseen twists and turns that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

The Music of Chance is a drama movie featuring M. Emmet Walsh and directed by Philip Haas.
