The Fan turns spectator obsession into chilling reality. Robert De Niro’s unhinged fan is not merely a supporter—he’s a stalker whose devotion spirals into alarming delusion. Wesley Snipes is the unsuspecting athlete who learns the terrifying cost of fame. Tony Scott ratchets the tension in stadium lights, basements, and shadowed streets, crafting a voyeuristic nightmare where every cheer hides menace. It’s less about baseball than how adoration can fracture into deadly fixation. The Fan plays on loneliness and celebrity culture, diving into the dark heart of fandom with every heartbeat closer to violence.
