Amy is nowhere to be found and the trucker claims to have no knowledge of the situation. Jeff stays with their car while Amy takes the ride but, after fixing the car, Jeff shows up in town. Luckily, a semi-truck drives down the road and, after trying to fix their car, the trucker (J.T.Walsh Needful Things) offers to drive them to the nearest town. A little way down the road, their car breaks down and the truck shows up. When they stop at a gas station, the owner of the truck taunts them. While Amy naps as Jeff drives through Arizona, he leans over to get something to drink and almost hits a pickup truck entering the roadway. Jeff (Russell) and Amy (Quinlan) Taylor are driving cross country from Massachusetts to California for Jeff's new job. It's hard to believe that a 24-year-old movie is considered a classic, but I guess if they had to pick a 'newer' classic, Breakdown is a good choice. The latest pick is the 1997 Kurt Russell ( Big Trouble In Little China)/ Kathleen Quinlan ( Event Horizon) action/thriller, Breakdown. Since last April they have been busy combing through their catalog and choosing some terrific movies to bring back. It has been almost a year and a half since Paramount Pictures started releasing remastered versions of some of their classic film through their series, Paramount Presents.
