Convoy

A mighty convoy of dust-raising trucks heads for a State line in South-West America, led by legendary trucker Martin Penwald, AKA "Rubber Duck" (Kris Krisofferson), who has gathered a vast army together in protest against police corruption and shady politicking. Hot on their heels is blackmailig traffic cop Lyle Wallace (Ernest Borgnine, The Dirty Dozen), who has pursued ‘Rubber Duck’ through several states after he failed to submit to his phoney speed trap. Soon the National Guard, the army, the police and the Feds are out to halt the convoy. As news of the convoy spreads, unexpected allies join the line, including beautiful photo-journalist Melissa (Ali MacGraw) who is mesmerized by a world she knows nothing about, in particular ‘Rubber Duck’. A hugely popular road movie from veteran director Sam Peckinpah (The Wild Bunch, The Getaway), and brilliantly scripted by Bill L. Norton (Cisco Pike), "Convoy" is a pulsating, action-packed tale about the war of independence being waged on the American highways.
