Lost Highway is a 1997 neo-noir mystery film directed by David Lynch. It tells the story of Fred Madison, a jazz saxophonist who is accused of murdering his wife, Renee. The narrative then takes a surreal and non-linear turn.

After Fred is imprisoned, he inexplicably transforms into a different person, a young mechanic named Pete Drayton, who has no memory of Fred's life or crimes. Pete finds himself entangled with a dangerous gangster named Mr. Eddy and his moll, Alice, who bears a striking resemblance to Fred's murdered wife, Renee. The film explores themes of identity, guilt, desire, and the subconscious, blurring the lines between reality and hallucination. Lynch's signature dreamlike and unsettling atmosphere pervades the entire movie, leaving viewers to piece together the fragmented narrative.
