Arnold Schwarzenegger and Vanessa Williams in Eraser (1996)

FAQ

Eraser

FAQ



    It isn't clear what the protocol is. But it's likely Donahue was suspicious of Lee and asked security to notify him when she arrived. From that point on he followed her via surveillance to see if she went to the lab.



    No one has answered this question yet.



    Lee Cullen (Vanessa Williams), a senior executive with the Cyrez Corporation, manufacturer of secret weapons for the military, has discovered an internal scam involving the illegal sale of high tech weapons to terrorists, an act of treason. She reports it to the F.B.I., and U.S. Marshall John Kruger (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is assigned to protect her until she can testify against Cyrez. Unfortunately, Kruger's colleague and mentor, Robert Deguerin (James Caan), also a U.S. Marshall, is actually the mastermind behind the scam. Deguerin frames Kruger for killing another agent. With the help of Johnny Casteleone (Robert Pastorelli), an ex-mobster currently in the Witness Protection Program, Kruger attempts to prove his innocence and infiltrate Cyrez in order to find out exactly what is happening.



    Eraser is based on a screenplay written by Tony Puryear, Walon Green, and Michael S. Chernuchin.



    In the movie, "Eraser" refers to a witness protection agent who "erases" a person's past life and sets them up with a new identity.



    Osso bucco (translation 'bone hole') is a Milanese (Italian) dish made of veal shanks braised with vegetables and broth.



    Lee explains that a railgun is a secret electromagnetic pulse rifle that doesn't use gunpowder or bullets but fires aluminum rounds at extremely high speed. According to Lee, Cyrez was contracted to scale it down to make an assault rifle, the most powerful assault rifle on Earth.



    Caught a Train by Trevor Rabin. WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE BY VANESSA L. WILLIAMS



    This Schwarzenegger action flick is heavily censored in the UK missing out more than two minutes of action and fight sequences not suitable for kids at the age of 15.
