Stacy Keach is Pat Quid, a lone trucker who plays games to keep his sanity on long hauls through the desolate Australian Outback. ,/p>
Jamie Lee Curtis is a free-spirited hitchhiker looking for excitement with a game of her own. And somewhere up ahead, on the loneliest highway in the world, is a psychopathic killer - latter day Jack The Ripper,whose game is picking up young female hitchhikers, raping, killing and dismembering them before burying their remains on the desolate Nullabor Plains.
But, when Quid's innocent curiousity turns into mateur sleuthing, the killer decides to raise the stakes... and the rules of this road take some very deadly turns.
Director Richard Franklin (Psycho II, Patrick) packs plenty of Hitchcock-like twists and suspense into this sly shocker that Quentin Tarantino names his all-time favourite Australian film!
