Synopsis:
When the western film, for many decades the staple of the American cinema, suffered a decline in the Seventies, a new sub-genre helped fill the void—the trucking epic. Legendary filmmaker Sam Peckinpah ( Ride the High Country , Straw Dogs , Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia ) directed this action-packed classic based on the runaway hit song, Convoy. Martin 'Rubber Duck' Penwald (Kris Kristofferson, Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid ) who, in pursuance of a feud with Sheriff Dirty Lyle 'Cottonmouth' Wallace (Ernest Borgnine, The Wild Bunch ), unites scores of his fellow drivers via Citizen Band radio into a gigantic mile-long convoy which, powered by pent-up frustrations and resentments as much as by diesel fuel, rolls irresistibly along the Arizona highways towards the freedom of the New Mexican border. The stellar cast includes Ali MacGraw ( The Getaway ), Seymour Cassel ( Rushmore ) and Burt Young ( The Killer Elite ) as Bobby 'Love Machine' 'Pig Pen'. Beautifully shot in CinemaScope by the great Harry Stradling Jr. ( Bite the Bullet ), Convoy was Peckinpah's biggest box office hit.
