I know you are hard core about this sort of thing, but is this really necessary for a movie that is 24 years old?

I never understand the age-of-movie argument against spoilers. There's tons of movies that I have never seen that I know nothing about. A good example is I didn't see No Way Out until about 2 years ago. And I was incredibly happy that I had not been spoiled.

ETA: I watched the movie last night with 2 people who had never seen it and knew nothing about it. Their experience would have been clearly much worse if I had said going in: "Oh, let's watch this one. You'll love it because of the following major plot points and reveals which I am about to enumerate for you in advance of your first-time viewing of the film. You shouldn't mind this because the movie is 24 years old."
