Travis (Harry Dean Stanton), a seemingly mute, semi-catatonic, amnesiac man wanders out of the desert and into a small, rural Texan town, his sole possession a piece of paper bearing the Los Angeles telephone number of his younger brother, Walt (Dean Stockwell). Returning to LA with Walt, Travis's memory slowly returns as he begins to piece together the details of his life, discovering the wife and young son he walked out on four years previously. Beautifully shot by longtime Wim Wenders cinematographer Robby Muller and featuring a memorable, haunting score by Ry Cooder, Paris, Texas is an unforgettable study of human emotions, relationships and alienation.
