- Synopsis:
- The Chase. The Desert. The Shack. The Girl. The Roadblock. The End. One man races against time, against destiny, against the road: the ultimate car chase movie. Kowalski (Barry Newman) is the last American hero. He's the lone stranger - a modern cowboy in a white Dodge Challenger who bets that he can drive from Denver to San Francisco in fifteen hours. Loaded with amphetamines and a full tank, he takes to the open highway. In his supercharged Challenger he breaks through every speed trap, dragnet and roadblock in four states to become an instant cult hero...

Remake it! - Vanishing Point review by DS
Saw this film when I was a kid. I was so taken by it that I did my own road trip across America that lasted almost four months. Since then I have always talked about it with people - the film I mean. Seeing Vanishing Point again in December 2016, shattered the nostalgic view of it. No doubt it was made on a low budget. Still a great story and I would recommend it to anyone who has not seen it. But, if there is a movie mogul out there reading this, Vanishing Point could do with a remake with more exciting car chases and crashes. A new Mustang or a Camaro in the starring role, supported by Jake Gyllenhaal as the driver and Jamie Foxx as the DJ.
