ComedyCrimeDrama110 min
After the state of Texas takes their baby, Lou-Jean Poplin breaks her husband out of jail and heads for a desperate reunion, with a highway patrolman unwillingly pulled into the getaway. Goldie Hawn is Lou-Jean, a fast-talking young mother who keeps pushing the plan forward, while Michael Sacks’ Clovis follows her lead as the chase widens across Texas. Directed by Steven Spielberg and based on a true story, the film turns a custody fight into a sprawling road pursuit, with police cars multiplying behind them and the hostage situation growing more complicated by the mile.
