Oh hi,
This week on Filmsack we pack up our wives and “Escape from … New England” in our brand new oil guzzling 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee to take the scenic route on the dusty abandoned highways of Amazon Prime for our new job out west; “Putting Tennis Shoes On Computers”…I guess? ..yeah…that’s “The Thing?” Holy smokes! Did you see that! That guy just pulled out in front of us while I was reaching in the back seat for my thermos full of what I can only assume is hot coffee…or booze…probably peach schnapps … ok…calm down…oh man…that almost gave me a heart attack…some Big Trouble in Little Angina…am I right.
Anywho, I’m just calling in from a pay phone with my last 2 dimes to let you guys know how the trip has been so far. Just a quick recap. Car broke down. Didn’t win 90 thousand dollars or 90 thousand donuts but did have a 15 minute conversation about it…take the money Amy…can you sell a donut for a dollar in 1997…no…take the money Amy…. oh.. Wife may have ran off with some mother trucker. Got in a fight with a short order cook who drew a gun and…hold on a second…one of these local rubes is polishing the rust on his sports car and trying to get my attention. What…”yeah I’m the fella who’s looking for his wife…yeah…I guess that sounds about right for her tit to body ratio.”
Randy, I got to go…this rube is measuring shit in tits… call the police…

BRIEF
On their cross-country drive, a married couple, Jeff (Kurt Russell) and Amy Taylor (Kathleen Quinlan), experience car trouble after an accident. Stranded in the New Mexico desert, the two catch a break when a passing truck driver, Red Barr (J.T. Walsh), offers to drive Amy to a nearby café to call for help. Meanwhile, Jeff is able to fix the car and make his way to the café, only to find his wife missing and Barr claiming ignorance. Jeff then begins a frenzied search for Amy.
Rated : R
