Short description

Trucker Rubber Duck and his buddies Pig Pen, Widow Woman and Spider Mike use their CB radios to warn one another of the presence of cops. But conniving Sheriff Wallace is hip to the truckers' tactics, and begins tricking the drivers through his own CB broadcasts. Facing constant harassment from the law, Rubber Duck and his pals use their radios to coordinate a vast convoy and rule the road.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The film ranks 77th in attendance among foreign films in Soviet cinema distribution.
  • After the commercial failures of his last four films, Sam Peckinpah suffered from health problems caused by alcoholism and drug addiction. Peckinpah was forced to invite his friend James Coburn as a second director. Coburn shot a large amount of footage while Peckinpah was on set in his trailer.
  • The Rubber Duck's tractor is a Mack RS712LST. Currently, one of the trucks used in the film is on display at the Museum of Transport in St. Louis.
