/* */
/* Plot */
Reverted the change from a reported $125M box‑office gross to the verified $65M. The $125M figure is not supported by any verifiable source. The cited Variety article has repeatedly been used to change to the $125M number based on a purported December 8, 1986 Variety article that cannot be located or confirmed. Any future edits restoring the $125M figure should provide that source. Any such future change should also update other affected pages, including [[List of American films of 1985]].
