Small Town Fun At It's Best!
After getting his radiator shot at by three local toughs, Beckman(Judge Reinhold) and hitchhiker Johnny(Willem Dafoe) find themselves stranded in a small Arizona town over Labor Day weekend. Soon, they meet Jessie, who owns the auto parts store,(played by Kaaren Lee) and her just home from college sister, Melissa, (Kate Vernon). After getting the radiator fixed, they spend time hanging in the local tavern (The 66), where they meet up again with the trouble-making trio. Hostility builds between the two sides, as does attractions between Beckman and Melissa, and Johnny and Jessie. Beckman, who is driving a 1955 Thunderbird, decides to enter the local Labor Day race (Open only to cars built before 1966), pitting him directly against the three (or so it would seem). Great drama and action follow as does excellent rockabilly music provided by a powerful and driving soundtrack. Just a fun and very entertaining movie.
