Genres & Description

Action Drama

6.3 / 10

While driving through the Arizona desert, Albuquerque based independent trucker Martin Penwald - who goes by the handle "Rubber Duck" - along with his fellow truckers "Pig Pen" and "Spider Mike", are entrapped by unscrupulous Sheriff Lyle "Cottonmouth" Wallace using a key tool of the trucker's trade, the citizens' band (CB) radio. Rubber Duck and Cottonmouth have a long, antagonistic history. When this encounter later escalates into a more physical one as Cottonmouth threatens Spider Mike, a man who just wants to get home to his pregnant wife, Rubber Duck and other the truckers involved, including Spider Mike, Pig Pen and "Widow Woman", go on the run, figuring the best thing to do being to head to New Mexico to avoid prosecution. Along for the ride is Melissa, a beautiful photographer who just wanted a ride to the airport. As news of what happened spreads over the CB airwaves, other truckers join their convoy as a show of support. Cottonmouth rallies other law enforcement officers ...

Big fan of Peckinpah here. Loved Smokey and the Bandit too, so I guess watching this movie is a natural progression. come to think of it, my colombian born cousin Juan left for NY when he was 12, eventually became a trucker, which is my dad's lonesome outlaw dream, desk jockey as he always was. Love 'em both. Great Film and love for truckers and dads worldwide. Cheers!. - @Thursday, November 30, 2017 4:31 PM

The plot is the plight of a bunch of truckers that like to drive one behind the other and intimidate people in cars on the road and are quite surprised when "Dirty Lyle" fucks with them. I wonder why Ali MacGraw looks like a black chick in this movie... - @Wednesday, August 5, 2015 11:07 PM

I've noticed Hollywood tends to do this; take a mundane profession and depict it through the lense of madness. They do it with truckers, forensic technicians, etc. - @Monday, December 31, 2012 5:28 PM

This movie was as much a product of movies of the time as it was the culture of trucking. But the type of graft and corruption, along with fewer open roads and more Interstates, might change the story if there were a remake. The reduction of Indipendants and more Union and corporate trucks make a big change (though there are still a lot of trucks driving well over the speed limit and in the wrong lanes). Maybe there'd be a bigger focus on the 10 hours on, 10 off laws and the speed limiters? - @Saturday, November 17, 2012 11:45 PM
