When a band of outlaws robs Swann of his motorcycle, he's forced to outfox the gangsters and give in to the seductions of a gorgeous local lady. With only his smarts and a map from an Exxon station, Lyle must try to make it out of the Old West alive and find a way back to modern times.

How It Feels

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

A cheerfully gonzo fish-out-of-water romp that mashes up motorcycle culture and Wild West action with genuine warmth and comedy. It's the kind of unabashed 80s oddity that doesn't take itself seriously enough to demand you do either.
