Wild at Heart is a 1990 film directed by David Lynch. It is based on the novel by Barry Gifford .

Starring Nicolas Cage, Laura Dern, Diane Ladd, and Willem Dafoe, the film mixes bizarre almost supernatural events and off-kilter violence making it an atypical road movie which stands all the usual clichés of the genre on their head. It is an unusual homage to the Wizard of Oz.

The film won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
