Description

A fast-paced ride through the illegal, underground world of U.S. transcontinental racing. The true story of what happened after the Cannonball Run ended in 1979, the rise of the U.S. Express, and the seemingly unbreakable NY to LA 32 hour record set in 1983, when law enforcement scrutiny forced an end to the secretive races. Or did it? Decades later, two men get in a car and attempt to break the unbreakable record.

    It was great to learn how Alex and Dave accomplished this drive across the country in such a fast time. The planning and preparation before our modern technology (driving apps) and having to map a few things by hand and put them into a spread sheet is awesome. I have seriously watched this film 10 times in the last week. Give it a watch you won’t be disappointed!! -JV of Automobillion-

    This is a great documentary and shows the level of effort that goes into breaking the cross country record. Tons of footage thanks to Alex Roy's planning and foresight to put so many cameras in and on the car. Even though you know the result, it keeps you on the edge of your seat. Glad I bought it.
  • Pure adrenaline!

    I’ve been waiting for this movie for awhile and it didn’t disappoint. I loved all the old footage of Ferrari 308s, Porsche 928s, and Pontiac Firebirds, mixed with Alex, racing across America in his e39 M5. It was a really gun watch and I highly recommend it.
  • Great doc.

    Regardless if you understand the motivations for such endeavors, this movie is the perfect compendium for anyone who values methodical and utilitarian pursuit of any objective. Alex Roy and Dave Maher came together from very different trajectories to merge together into a very focused team. Cory Welles provides real insight through her unobtrusive work. Bravo!

    An excellent follow up to the equally intense book “The Driver”. Although missing many of the colorful moments (early life of his Father is amazing) of the book the documentary manages to bring the audience along for high speed thrash across the country. Recommend this movie? YES! Recommend the book? YES!! Recommend driving at a high rate of speed across America... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
