Driver Larry Rayder (Peter Fonda) and mechanic Deke Sommers (Adam Roarke) rob a grocery store by kidnapping the manager (Roddy McDowall)'s family. Larry's one night stand wildcat Mary Coombs (Susan George) pushes her way into the criminal duo.
This is a fine car chase movie. It's got the two prerequisites. It's got the big personalities and it's got the car stunts. Peter Fonda is a given. Susan George has the unpredictability of her character. There is real instability within the volatile chemistry. The action starts with what is probably a mistake in the stunt. The windshield took a real hit as the car slams into oncoming traffic. It's always shocking when unexpected danger comes out of the screen. This is not necessarily a high class affair but it has some fun stunts and charismatic actors.
