Cape Fear is a 1991 thriller film directed by Martin Scorsese. It is a remake of the 1962 film of the same name and tells the story of a family man, a former public defender, whose family is threatened by a convicted rapist who wants vengeance for having been imprisoned for 14 years because of the lawyer's purposefully faulty defense tactics, prejudicing the accused.

The film received Academy Award nominations for Best Actor (Robert De Niro) and Best Supporting Actress (Juliette Lewis). The two were also nominated for Golden Globe Awards.

The remake along with the original were the main target of parody for The Simpsons episode, "Cape Feare".

Sam Bowden (Nick Nolte) is a former Atlanta public defender who is now in private practice in the quiet town of New Essex, North Carolina. Max Cady (Robert De Niro) is an ex-client who Bowden had defended 14 years ago in Atlanta. Cady, who was being tried for the rape and battery of a young woman, was illiterate at the time and unable to read a report Bowden kept hidden from the court that revealed that the victim was promiscuous. The report might have possibly lightened Cady's sentence or even acquitted him had Bowden brought it to light.

Max Cady has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
