The film's tagline in advertisements was, "Murder has a sound all of its own". </p><p>Directly based on <a href="/wiki/Michelangelo_Antonioni" title="Michelangelo Antonioni">Michelangelo Antonioni</a>'s 1966 film <i><a href="/wiki/Blowup" title="Blowup">Blowup</a></i>, the film replaces the medium of photography with one of audio recording.

The film was shot in the late autumn and winter of 1980 in various Philadelphia locations on a budget of $18 million. </p><p><i>Blow Out</i> opened to very little audience interest at the time of release despite receiving a mostly positive critical reception. The lead performances by Travolta and Allen, the direction by De Palma and the visual style were cited as the strongest points of the film.

While recording potential <a href="/wiki/Sound_effect" title="Sound effect">sound effects</a> at a local park, he sees a car careen off the road and plunge into a nearby creek. The male driver is killed, but Jack manages to rescue a young woman named Sally Bedina and accompanies her to a hospital. There, a detective interviews Jack about the accident, and Jack asks Sally out for a drink. He learns that <a href="/wiki/Governor_(United_States)" title="Governor (United States)">Governor</a> George McRyan, a presidential hopeful, was driving the car and that Sally was his <a href="/wiki/Call_girl" title="Call girl">escort</a>. An associate of McRyan, Lawrence Henry, persuades Jack to conceal her involvement by smuggling her out of the hospital. </p><p>Listening to his recorded audio of the accident, Jack distinctly hears a gunshot just before the tire blow-out, suspecting that it was actually an <a href="/wiki/Assassination" title="Assassination">assassination</a>. He learns from a news report that, seemingly coincidentally, a man named Manny Karp filmed the accident with a <a href="/wiki/Movie_camera" title="Movie camera">motion picture camera</a>. When Karp sells stills from his film to a local <a href="/wiki/Tabloid_(newspaper_format)" title="Tabloid (newspaper format)">tabloid</a>, <i>News Today Magazine</i>, Jack splices them together into a crude movie, syncs them with his recorded audio and finds a visible flash and smoke from the fired gun. Though initially reluctant, Sally eventually agrees to help Jack privately investigate the incident. Over a drink, Jack reveals how he left his prior career as part of a government commission to root out police corruption after a wiretap operation he was involved in led to the death of an undercover cop named Freddie Corso. </p><p>Unbeknownst to Jack, Sally and Karp, both frequent blackmail co-conspirators, were hired as part of a larger plot against McRyan. A rival candidate had hired a thug named Burke to hook McRyan with Sally posing as a prostitute, take unflattering pictures of the pair, and publish them to expedite McRyan's withdrawal. However, Burke decided to blow out the tire of McRyan's car with a gunshot, thereby causing the accident. After botching the <a href="/wiki/Cover-up" title="Cover-up">cover-up</a> of Sally by murdering a look-alike, Burke murders two more look-alike women with piano wire and attributes the deaths to a fictional <a href="/wiki/Serial_killer" title="Serial killer">serial killer</a>, "the <a href="/wiki/Liberty_Bell" title="Liberty Bell">Liberty Bell</a> Strangler," so that he can cover up the cover-up when she is successfully murdered. </p><p>To help Jack investigate McRyan's murder, Sally steals Karp's film, which, when synced to Jack's audio, clearly reveals the gunshot that precipitated the blow-out. Nevertheless, nobody believes Jack's story and a seemingly widespread conspiracy immediately silences his every move. Local talk-show host Frank Donahue asks to interview Jack on air and release his tapes, to which Jack eventually agrees. Burke follows the development by tapping Jack's phone, calls Sally as Donahue, and asks her to meet him at a train station with the tapes. When Sally tells Jack about Donahue's call, he becomes suspicious. He copies the audio tapes, but is unable to copy the film before Sally's meeting. </p><p>Shadowing a wired Sally from a distance, Jack is alarmed to see that his supposed contact is actually Burke. Immediately realizing that she is in danger, Jack attempts to warn her, but she and Burke slip out of range and into a parade. Jack manically dashes across the city, attempting to head them off and rescue her, but crashes his <a href="/wiki/Jeep" title="Jeep">Jeep</a> into a department store window and is incapacitated. By the time he awakens in a parked ambulance, Burke has stolen the film from Sally and thrown it into a river. Still listening in on his earpiece, Jack spots Burke attacking her on a rooftop, startles him and ultimately stabs him to death with his own weapon, but shockingly discovers that Sally has already been strangled, cradling her lifeless corpse in his arms. </p><p>Burke's death, combined with the loss of the film, ties up the last loose end. Jack's audio tapes alone are ultimately deemed insufficient to prove that a gunshot occurred and the cover-up succeeds. Jack begins replaying the recording of Sally's voice, eventually becoming obsessed with it. Sometime later, he has incorporated her death scream in <i>Co-ed Frenzy</i>. Ecstatic at having found the perfect scream, Sam replays the audio, forcing Jack to cover his ears. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Blow_Out&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/John_Travolta" title="John Travolta">John Travolta</a> as Jack Terry</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Nancy_Allen_(actress)" title="Nancy Allen (actress)">Nancy Allen</a> as Sally Bedina</li> <li><a href="/wiki/John_Lithgow" title="John Lithgow">John Lithgow</a> as Burke</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Dennis_Franz" title="Dennis Franz">Dennis Franz</a> as Manny Karp</li> <li>Peter Boyden as Sam</li> <li>Lori-Nan Engler as Sue</li> <li>Curt May as Frank Donahue</li> <li>John Aquino as Detective Mackey</li> <li><a href="/wiki/John_McMartin" title="John McMartin">John McMartin</a> as Lawrence Henry</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Robin_Sherwood" title="Robin Sherwood">Robin Sherwood</a> as Betty</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Michael_Tearson" title="Michael Tearson">Michael Tearson</a> as Hawker</li></ul></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Blow_Out&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>After completing <i><a href="/wiki/Dressed_to_Kill_(1980_film)" title="Dressed to Kill (1980 film)">Dressed to Kill</a></i>, De Palma was considering several projects, including <i><a href="/wiki/Act_of_Vengeance_(1986_film)" title="Act of Vengeance (1986 film)">Act of Vengeance</a></i> (later produced for <a href="/wiki/HBO" title="HBO">HBO</a> starring <a href="/wiki/Charles_Bronson" title="Charles Bronson">Charles Bronson</a> and <a href="/wiki/Ellen_Burstyn" title="Ellen Burstyn">Ellen Burstyn</a>), <i><a href="/wiki/Flashdance" title="Flashdance">Flashdance</a></i>, and a script of his own titled <i>Personal Effects</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-Bouzereau_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bouzereau-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The story outline for the latter was similar to what would become <i>Blow Out</i>, but set in Canada.<sup id="cite_ref-Bouzereau_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bouzereau-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>According to screenwriter Bill Mesce Jr., he wrote the first draft of the script after winning a competition in Take One magazine hosted by Brian De Palma, but his version ended up being almost completely changed.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>De Palma scripted and filmed <i>Blow Out</i> in his home town of <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia" title="Philadelphia">Philadelphia</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Bouzereau_9-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bouzereau-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The film's $18 million budget was high for De Palma, and Filmways spent an additional $9 million to market the film.<sup id="cite_ref-Bouzereau_9-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bouzereau-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> De Palma considered <a href="/wiki/Al_Pacino" title="Al Pacino">Al Pacino</a> for the role of Jack Terry, but ultimately chose John Travolta,<sup id="cite_ref-Bouzereau_9-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bouzereau-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> who himself lobbied De Palma to cast <a href="/wiki/Nancy_Allen_(actress)" title="Nancy Allen (actress)">Nancy Allen</a> for the role of Sally Bedina (the three had previously worked together on <i><a href="/wiki/Carrie_(1976_film)" title="Carrie (1976 film)">Carrie</a></i>);
