When an ex-con (Patrick Swayze) reluctantly agrees to drive a mystery load cross-country, he unwittingly becomes part of an explosive, pedal-to-the-metal battle between a gang and the FBI.

This "smashing" action yarn stars Patrick Swayze as unlicensed trucker Jack Crews, who's tricked into transporting a cache of illegal assault weapons.

Patrick Swayze, Randy Travis and Meat Loaf team up to deliver explosive, nonstop high-speed action in this adrenaline-pumping highway road war. A 40-ton truck is a lethal weapon and veteran driver Jack Crews (Swayze) knows how to use it. Desperate for cash, he's got one last delivery to make. The trip's barely begun when he and partner Earl (Travis) discover they've been set up and are being chased by Red (Meat Loaf), a relentless fanatic who's as deadly as he is greedy. Now, with his family, his life and his freedom on the line, Jack's going to buckle up, put the pedal down and show Red and the Feds a thing or two about road rage. After being double-crossed and rudely underestimated, Jack and Earl shift gears, becoming a two-man wrecking crew, trucking down the highway blazing a trail of diesel-powered destruction.
