In flight from a sexist boss and a philandering husband, Yvette Mimieux takes off cross-country in her Pacer, but loses her car in redneck country to two hitchhikers with an automatic handgun. For this indiscretion, the local police throw her in jail, and things go from bad to worse thereafter. A scare story about Middle America, laden with presumptions and stereotypes, it is always energetically directed (beginner Michael Miller), but the final shootout in the midst of a Bicentennial parade is a smidgeon overzealous. With Tommy Lee Jones. (1976) — Duncan Shepherd
