Thunder Run
Thunder Run
A vicious band of nuclear terrorists is threatening America's atomic weapons research. Truck jockey Charlie Morrison (Forrest Tucker) volunteers for a last-ditch, suicide scheme to lure them into a trap, baited with a vital shipment of bomb-grade plutonium. Soon, Charlie's high-balling it down a remote desert road with a small army of lethally equipped bandits zeroing in on him. Charlie's secret weapon? "Big Thunder", a 65-foot, 18-wheeled war wagon of merciless high-tech destruction!

Cannon takes on The Road Warrior and like typical Cannon, it rules. I'm such a big fan of Cannon films and miss this era of filmmaking. It's crazy unrealistic- I mean the computer nerd is with the hottest girl of the entire cast? That's even more unrealistic than the military base hacking, cars exploding by a single touch, the weapons built within the semi truck, missiles launching off the tops of VW Bugs, and a laser tunnel. They even ramp a tractor trailer WITH the trailer still attached, absolutely impressive. Car films are my jam, Cannon Group films are my jam, Thunder Run was my jam.
