Trivia
The "FBI" headquarters shown in the film is actually the Georgia-Pacific building in downtown Atlanta, GA. See more »Goofs
After the car rear-ends the semi trailer and bursts into flames, Meat Loaf's character pulls up to examine the wreckage and there are obviously no bodies in the vehicle, even though there were two men in the car when it crashed. See more »Quotes

An ex-con (Patrick Swayze) takes a job driving a truck cross country. What he does not know is that the truck is filled with illegal weapons and now he must fight to survive and save his family.
This film is given low ratings, and I suspect the reason is that people wanted it to be more than it is. This is the story of a man who has one chance to make a big score, and he is followed by trouble -- explosions and car crashes ensue. If you wanted more than a nice popcorn-munching film, you put the wrong DVD in, my friend.
I enjoyed this one. I did have a question or two about the plot that I think was never fully answered, but then I had to refer myself to the previous paragraph: I was expecting too much and should just relax. After that change of perspective, it is a joy.
