Throw Momma from the Train (1987)

Directed by Danny DeVito

“Owen asked his friend Larry for a small favor.”

Comedy, Crime, Thriller · 1h 28m

Larry Donner, an author with a cruel ex-wife, teaches a writing workshop in which one of his students, Owen, is fed up with his domineering mother. When Owen watches a Hitchcock classic that seems to mirror his own life, he decides to put the movie's plot into action and offers to kill Larry's ex-wife, if Larry promises to murder his mom. Before Larry gets a chance to react to the plan, it seems that Owen has already set things in motion.
