JOYRIDE TO NOWHERE 1977 (TUBI)

Intersting time capsule of a movie.

Two beautiful teenage girls Leah (Leslie Ackerman) and Cindy (Sandy Allen) decide to leave their hometown and head for the bright lights of Loa Angeles. Both girls have a terrible home life and want a change.

As is expected they run into the usual creeps and weird people including a man named Charlie (Len Lesser) who offers them a ride after their car breaks down.

One things leads to another and they end up as "guests" of Tank McCall (Mel Wells). The girls decide they don't like Tank and steal his car. Of course Tank wants the car back because it has over 2 million in money he just stole and intends to take across the border to Mexico.

The chase is on as the two girls try to outwit the gangsters. I liked this movie as well, and I found the two leads to be very attractive. However this was more of a time capsule for me.

They say movies reflect the period they were made in, and this one captures 1977 to a tee. The rest of the cast includes Speed Stearns, Dino Nova, Ron Ross and Linda Gary.
