This minor TV movie stars David Janssen and Keenan Wynn as to struggling truck drivers who are out of the blue hired to do a run from New York City to Houston of mysterious cargo and find them being targeted by a mysterious group of terrorists. They are like nearly cross country its pretty terrifying and it becomes a matter of survival, not what's in the truck. Encounters with various types of folks along the way to create some amusing moments, particularly the very chatty Jeanette Nolan as a rural sheriff/post office clerk/ phone operator, with an old-fashioned telephone that immediately made me think she'd answer it and scream out "Walnut Grove!" The action is intense and the two stars do a good job. Nothing you'll remember long afterwards, but a nice 75 minutes diversion.
