Stacy Keach is Pat Quid, a loan trucker who always plays games to keep his sanity on long hauls through the desolate Australian outback. Jamie Lee Curtis is a free - spirited hitchiker looking for excitement with a game of her own. And somewhere up ahead, on the lonliest highway in the world, is a psychopathic killer - a 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 curiosity turns into amateur sleuthing, the killer decides to raise the stakes... and the rules of this road take some very deadly turns. (Umbrella Entertainment)

A great Stacy Keach and equally excellent Jamie Lee Curtis in a film that's mainly about the journey and one car that a truck driver keeps encountering. The escalating tension isn't as great as in Duel, but this film is all the more action-packed, and, above all, it has great lines delivered by the main character and his companion. Australia gets me.
