Robert Downey Jr. plays Charlie in One Night Stand, a man dying of AIDS whose illness brings his friend Max back to New York City, where Max's life proceeds to fall apart. Mike Figgis directed this 1997 drama, which uses Charlie's sickness as the catalyst for a story about infidelity and its consequences. Wesley Snipes plays Max, a commercial director who has a one-night affair with a woman played by Nastassja Kinski and spends the next year trying to pretend it did not happen. Downey gives a quietly devastating performance as Charlie, who is too sick to participate in the drama around him but whose presence makes everyone else reconsider their choices. The film was made during a difficult period in Downey's life, and there is something uncomfortably real about watching him play a man running out of time. His watch has not been identified.
