Plot Summary
In S.R. Bindler’s 1997 cult classic, Hands On a Hardbody, two-dozen small-town Texans compete for a brand-new "hardbody" pickup truck at a local car dealership. The event is a contest of endurance and sleep-deprivation. Whoever can remain standing the longest with one hand on the truck will get to drive it home. Capturing several days of lunacy, laughter, struggle and heartbreak, Hands On a Hardbody is more than a documentary about winning a truck. It is a remarkable study of competition, camaraderie, faith and determination. It is the ultimate human drama. Available for the first time in ten years, this new edition of Hands On a Hardbody has been digitally re-mastered from the original Hi8 analog tapes. Hands On a Hardbody continues to be a cult hit a decade after its initial release. It won AFIʼs Best Documentary Award, numerous film festival and critics' honors and was a smash hit to sold-out audiences from coast to coast during its theatrical run.

Glad to see this on iTunes finally! Great movie!
If you like Americana, and you like documentaries...
…this is the movie for you. Was interesting throughout. The folks of Longview, Texas are colorful and interesting for sure. Seeing them reach their outer limits of sanity and tolerable physical pain to get the keys to the brand new hard body truck was a fun ride. 10/10, would watch again.
