Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me is a 1992 psychological horror film[3][4] directed by David Lynch, and co-written by Lynch and Robert Engels. It serves as a prequel to the television series Twin Peaks (1990–1991), created and produced by Mark Frost and Lynch. It revolves around the investigation into the murder of Teresa Banks (Pamela Gidley) and the last seven days in the life of Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee), a popular high school student in the fictional Washington town of Twin Peaks. Unlike the series, which was an uncanny blend of detective fiction, horror, the supernatural, offbeat humor, and soap opera tropes,[5][6][7] Fire Walk with Me has a much darker, less humorous tone.[8]

Most of the television cast reprised their roles, though the majority of their scenes were cut. A few notable cast members, including Lara Flynn Boyle, Sherilyn Fenn, and Richard Beymer, did not reappear for various reasons. Boyle's character Donna Hayward was recast with Moira Kelly. Kyle MacLachlan, who starred as Special Agent Dale Cooper in the series, was reluctant to return out of fear of being typecast, which resulted in a smaller presence in the film than originally planned. Two planned sequels never came to fruition, but 91 minutes worth of deleted scenes were released in 2014 as Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces, and the story's narrative continued through the 2017 series Twin Peaks: The Return.

Fire Walk with Me premiered at the 1992 Cannes Film Festival in competition for the Palme d'Or. It has long been reported that the film was booed and jeered by the audience at Cannes, though co-writer Robert Engels denies this happened.[9] Upon release, the film received polarized reviews from critics in the United States and was a box office failure domestically, although it fared much better in Japan. The film has been positively reevaluated in the 21st century,[10][11][12] and it is now widely regarded as one of Lynch's major works and one of the greatest films of the 1990s.[13][14]
