Things don’t go quiet according to plan when an encounter with a drunken, foul-mouthed, would-be rapist transforms their vacation into a cross-country getaway, as the two desperate fugitives race towards the Mexican border with the police, led by sympathetic Investigator Hal Slocumb (Harvey Keitel), in hot pursuit.
Ridley Scott’s film was a commercial and cultural sensation on release in 1991, rewriting the rules of the road movie in exhilarating and cathartic fashion.
