Plot
Trucker Rubber Duck and his buddies Pig Pen, Widow Woman and Spider Mike use their CB radios to warn one another of the presence of cops. But conniving Sheriff Wallace is hip to the truckers' tactics, and begins tricking the drivers through his own CB broadcasts. Facing constant harassment from the law, Rubber Duck and his pals use their radios to coordinate a vast convoy and rule the road.
Rubber Duck lives by the momentum of the open road, but his internal compass is permanently skewed toward confrontation. When a predatory lawman pushes a vulnerable friend too far, Duck's hair-trigger temper ignites a brawl that leaves the local precinct in ruins. Forced into a high speed exodus, he retreats into the steel cab of his rig. His defining vice is a refusal to yield to any authority, even when his cargo is a ticking bomb. This stubborn pride draws a legion of followers to his rear bumper, turning a personal grudge into a public crusade. He risks the lives of his peers to maintain a facade of freedom, eventually facing a bridge he cannot cross without total self destruction.
