The Sunchaser (1996) / Michael Cimino
Woody Harrleson and Jon Seda become road buddies in search of an Indian healer, with Anne Bancroft dropping into a brief scene. Very entertaining. I would rank this movie much higher than the IMDb reviewers did.

"Blue" Monroe (played by Seda) is a 16-year-old juvenile offender (convicted of murdering an abusive stepfather) who is dying of abdominal cancer. Dr. Michael Reynolds (played by Harrelson) is Blue's materialistic, self-absorbed oncologist.
During a medical visit, Blue, who is half Navajo, discovers that he has only one or two months to live and decides to escape. He kidnaps Dr. Reynolds and forces him to drive to Arizona, to visit a mountain lake sacred to the Navajo people. The trip forces both to confront their sense of self and life choices.
