Midnight Run for Your Life (1994) is the third in a series of made-for-TV sequel/spin-offs of the widely acclaimed action/comedy Midnight Run. Following the further misadventures of ex-Chicago-cop-turned-bounty-hunter, Jack Walsh (a role originated on the big screen by Robert DeNiro), "Midnight Run for Your Life" is a somewhat darker/more dramatic story than its predecessors Another Midnight Run and Midnight Runaround.

[edit] Storyline
Lorna Bellstratten (Walters), a waitress with dreams of being in show business, is duped by her drug-dealer boyfriend Michael Vega (Guastaferro) into delivering a bomb to an undercover cop.
Though Lorna survives the explosion (intended to kill her and the cop), she finds herself --as the only material witness to the crime she unwittingly abetted--wanted by both the cops and the mob (Vega's employers). Distraught, Lorna flees to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and takes out a contract on her own life (suicide-by-hitman.)
Meanwhile, Vega (posing as Lorna's father) hires Los Angeles bail bondsman, Eddie Moscone (Hedaya) and bounty hunter Jack Walsh (McDonald) to bring Lorna back to L.A. alive and unharmed.
When Walsh finds her in Cabo San Lucas, Lorna thinks he's her hitman. After a night of dancing, Lorna finds out the truth, hits Walsh out of anger and returns to her hotel room in a huff. Walsh's attempt to recover her is initially thwarted by the untimely arrival of the real hit-man, but they escape--with the hitman, the cops, and Vega's goons all hot on their trail. Along the way, the still-despondent Lorna keeps looking for--and finding--all manner of new ways to kill herself. And for the tough Jack Walsh, there's another problem. He's falling in love.
