Along the way, he comes across some hoods in a Chevy Bel Aire accosted him, then they shoot a hole in the radiator of his beloved '55 T-Bird. Judge Reinhold plays Beckman Hallsgood, Jr., the son of a fast food restaurant magnate traveling on Route 66 going from New York to California to attend a meeting. Well, until a group of hoods run by Hoot (Alan Autry, Bubba on "In The Heat of The Night") shoot a hole in a 1955 Ford Thunderbird driven by a New York college graduate(Judge Reinhold). The open road, the classic cars, the good times, that sort of good things. Reinhold is decent doing his usual naive good guy act, while Dafoe unfortunately doesn't add his usual intensity. Taken as a character study, it still lacks enough interest to make the effort worthwhile. Also with Kaaren Lee, Kate Vernon, Stephen Elliott, Alan Autry, Kevyn Major Howard, Peter Van Norden, and the Western Union Man as himself.
Bar brawls, hot rod races and 50's style rock n roll fill out the running time. They meet a pair of bored sisters who start up a romance, and the new friends run into the three roughnecks again, who happen to be the town troublemakers. They only make it to the next small town in Arizona, where they have to replace the damaged part. A car with three roughnecks drives by and shoots a hole in his radiator, and a passing hitchhiker (Willem Dafoe) helps get the car running again. Judge Reinhold stars as a rich kid driving his new Thunderbird from school in California down to Florida to commence work in his dad's restaurant business.
