A road movie, THE road movie!
The plot is simple, but the lead character is anything but. Kowalski (Barry Newman) is a former race car driver, motorbike rider, cop and now, delivery driver of cars across the United States. Framed by his former police partner in a drug bust (after stopping his attempted rape of a girl), Kowalski now travels the free life, popping speed and driving at 'high' speeds. His mission, is to deliver a white, 1970, Dodge Challenger to San Francisco. To do this on time, Kowalski will have to drive rather fast, avoid road blocks and dodge helicopters at every turn.
Imagine the chase scene from The Blues Brothers at the end...this whole film is like that, but even better.
A man liberated from the system. A sign of the times. The Last American Hero?!
