A highway patrolman stops people on a lonely mountain road after hearing of an impending nuclear attack.
Slowly more and more people show up so he decides they would have a better chance of survival if they hid inside of a semi truck trailer. Some of the people don't want this and rebel.
There is also a killer on the loose that the Deputy tries to apprehend, but to no avail. This is a tight little film with a cast of unknowns and it works quite well. You know immediately that all of these characters except a couple are probably going to die, and that is how the film works on you.
Seamon Glass is Deputy Dan Coulter and the only other name is Ron Starr as Clint Delany, a psycho killer who actually turns out to be more sane than most people.
I first discovered this little gem on Nightmare Theater on KCPX TV is Salt Lake City many years ago. I cannot recommend it enough. This is a bleak and well made film with a very downbeat ending.
