Bright Angel is a 1990 American drama film directed by Michael Fields in his feature debut, and starring Dermot Mulroney, Lili Taylor, and Sam Shepard. The film follows two teenagers, George and the transient Lucy, who travel from their home in Montana to Wyoming in order to help Lucy's brother escape from jail. The screenplay by Richard Ford is based on the short stories "Great Falls" and "Children" from Ford's 1987 collection Rock Springs.
Although it received some critical acclaim, the film earned only $158,243 at the domestic box office.

In a 2016 interview, she referred to it as the single most difficult film shoot in her career, stating that she had essentially been fired from the project, but was forced to finish her work on the film.
However, reviews such as Kathleen Maher of The Austin Chronicle did not think highly of it, gave it 2 stars and had differing views of the acting:
