Overview

Twenty years after the American people have been told the oil has run out and disease has scared them into complacency, the United States has become a fascist state. One man, former race car driver Franklyn Hart, now a puppet spokesman for public transportation, rebuilds his race car and sets off to California from Boston where people have returned to living life like they were twenty years prior.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A scrappy '80s dystopia where a man rebuilds a muscle car to outrun an authoritarian government, trading his complicity for rebellion across a decaying continent. It's a road movie fueled by low-budget ingenuity and a genuine belief that speed and defiance still matter.
