Ha dovuto abbandonare la sua carriere da pilota di auto e moto da corsa dopo due incidenti quasi mortali. Ha perso la [[donna|fidanzata]] in un incidente durante il [[surf]].

All'inizio del film, Kowalski è quasi alla fine del suo inseguimento con la polizia di stato [[California|californiana]]. Un flashback ci riporta a Denver, dove ha inizio il suo viaggio. Quando arriva a Denver con un auto che sta consegnando chiede quale sia il prossimo trasporto...

[[Barry Newman]] plays a delivery driver named Jimmy Kowalski who works for a car delivery service in [[Denver, Colorado]]. Flashbacks which appear throughout the movie hint that he has lost everything he has ever wanted and was reduced to taking the job as a delivery driver as a last resort. He is a [[Vietnam War|Vietnam]] veteran, a former [[law enforcement]] officer, former [[race car]] driver, and former [[motorcycle]] racer. He lost his job as a cop apparently after being framed in a drug bust, in retaliation for his preventing his partner from raping a young girl. He had to give up his automobile and motorcycle racing careers after two near-fatal accidents. His girlfriend lost her life in a [[surfing]] accident.

The police begin to give chase later that morning near [[Glenwood Springs, Colorado]]. Kowalski winds up being chased across the states of [[Colorado]], [[Utah]], and [[Nevada]], with the police unable to catch him. The chase includes actual footage from [[Rifle, Colorado]], [[Thompson Springs, Utah]], [[Green River, Utah]], [[Austin, Nevada]], [[Wendover, Utah]], and [[Tonopah, Nevada]]. The film is notable for actually having been filmed in these locations the movie was set in, and as a result for featuring incredible footage of the [[desert]] and the small towns in the region during the pre-[[Interstate Highway]] era.
