Fluchtpunkt San Francisco (1971)
Der ehemalige Rennfahrer Kowalski hält sich mit der Überführung von Autos geradeso über Wasser. Doch seine Leidenschaft hat ihn nie ganz losgelassen und eines Tages will er es nochmal wissen und nimmt eine halsbrecherische Wette an: Innerhalb von 15 Stunden muss er einen frisierten Dodge Challenger von Denver nach San Francisco fahren. Vollgepumpt mit Amphetaminen setzt Kowalski seinen Fuß aufs Gaspedal und beginnt den Wettlauf gegen die Zeit – und gegen alle Verkehrsregeln. Während die Cops eine Straßensperre nach der anderen aufbauen, stilisiert ihn der blinde Radio-D.J. Super Soul live zum letzten amerikanischen Helden. Eine ganze Nation fiebert mit dem Highway-Outlaw und nichts scheint ihn mehr aufhalten zu können …
