Stick is a 1985 film starring Burt Reynolds (Ernest Stickley) and Candice Bergen (Kyle). Ernest 'Stick' Stickley has just returned from prison, and soon after he gets involved with his old friend in a drug-running deal that goes sour. Hired by a rich investor, he tries to walk the line, but trouble follows him throughout as he tries to collect a debt and make up for lost time with his daughter. Stick also finds a new flame with a lady financial wizard (Kyle) and gets set to enjoy a new life, but Chucky and Nestor, the two hoods that owe him the debt, have other plans for Stick. The film is based on the 1983 novel, also called Stick (ISBN 0-688-16340-8), written by prolific crime novelist Elmore Leonard.
