A trucker (John Ireland) wrongly imprisoned for murder breaks out of jail, determined to clear his name. On the run from the police, he hijacks a wealthy woman’s Jaguar (Dorothy Malone) with her still inside. Despite her repeated escape attempts, a bond starts to form between them as they navigate the danger together. Produced by Roger Corman, the original 1954 version of The Fast and the Furious is a tense B-movie classic.
