Pacific Heights is a thriller movie that tells the story of a young couple, Drake and Patty, who purchase a beautiful 19th-century house in San Francisco's exclusive Pacific Heights neighborhood. To help pay the mortgage, they rent out two of the house's three apartments to a kindly Japanese couple and a mysterious man named Carter Hayes. However, Hayes soon becomes a nightmare tenant, refusing to pay rent, making excessive noise, and causing chaos in the house.
