Okay, here’s your assignment: Drive a car from Denver to San Francisco in 15 hours. Impossible, you say? All right, let’s assume that the car is a hot rod 1970 Dodge Challenger and you just bet someone a handful of “Bennies” that you could get to San Fran in just that amount of time. Intrigued? Then let’s go for a ride...

Ex-cop turned ex-road racer turned car-delivery driver Kowalski sets out on just such a journey in the epic car chase flick Vanishing Point (part #Q933). He’s hopped up on speed (this is the early ‘70s after all), has a full tank of gas and isn’t going to let anyone get in his way. Throughout Colorado, Nevada and Utah he drives the Challenger at breakneck speeds, handily disposing of police motorcycles, police cars and even an E-Type Jaguar, the whole time having eerie flashbacks of his checkered past. Occasionally, an event triggers his memory and we are allowed a glimpse back to the things that have led Kowalski to this moment.

Our driver isn’t alone on his trip, either. He has an unusual ally by the name of Super Soul, a blind DJ who guides him away from police roadblocks via cryptic messages broadcast over the Challenger's AM thumbwheel radio. Super Soul and Kowalski seem to share a kind of psychic communication that never really gets explained, but which seems to give them both the energy to keep on going. Along the way, Kowalski also meets up with a variety of wild characters, including a very unusual newlywed couple, a band of snake worshippers-turned-musicians, and a very attractive young lady riding a motorcycle through the desert wearing only her smile. But even with the help of Super Soul and the others, Kowalski’s chances of success seem to get slimmer and slimmer.
