Roscoe M I could not get through it, even though I am a Henry Fonda fan, or maybe because I am one. I'm 59 and Fonda was playing a sixty year old truck driver on his last run, which seemed ridiculous to me. Actually Fonda was 72 at the time. If the character had been 72, it would have been more believable. The plot also just seemed pointless, and the movie tedious to watch. Too bad. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Quite bad despite a likable Henry Fonda. A terminally ill trucker steals his rig from a repo yard to make one last cross country trip with six hookers and a hitcher while eluding police. Lula looks pretty homely for a hooker with those glasses. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Quite bad despite a likable Henry Fonda.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Terminally ill trucker steals his repoed rig to make one last sentimental cross-country haul. Gradually becomes a difficult haul with Alice's constant whining and complaining on the ride. There's just not enough cb chatter here for a 70s trucking film.
