Joy Ride

ActionDramaMysteryThriller97 min

A road trip from Colorado to New Jersey goes wrong when two brothers use a CB radio to prank a trucker and find themselves being hunted across the highway. Paul Walker and Steve Zahn are the brothers behind the joke, with Leelee Sobieski along for the ride as the situation keeps escalating. What begins as aimless travel turns into a chase through motels, gas stations, and lonely roadside stops, with the trucker staying mostly offscreen and present instead as a voice on the radio, a rig in the distance, and a threat that keeps closing in.
