The breakdown of the title is of the car variety, not the emotional kind. A swanky new jeep belonging to Jeff and Amy Taylor (
Kurt Russell and
Kathleen Quinlan), in the desert, to be exact; but that's only the beginning of their problems. He gets taken for something he isn't, and his wife gets used as leverage. It's about the lengths someone will go to in order to save the one they love. The more desperate the protagonist gets, the more desperate and ruthless the antagonists grow. It doesn’t break the mold of the genre, and it stretches believability a little as it gets nearer the ending, but
Russell is good and the music does its job admirably (courtesy of
Basil Poledouris).
