Summary

One man races against time... against destiny... against the road - in the ultimate car chase movie.
Barry Newman stars as Kowalski, the last American hero. He's the lone stranger - a modern cowboy in a white Dodge Challenger who bets he can drive from Denver to San Francisco in fifteen hours. Loaded with amphetamines and a full tank of petrol, he takes to the open highway.
Acclaimed as a high-speed adventure and a document of the times, Vanishing Point presents a fascinating collection of counterculture characters. Along the road, Kowalski meets an old prospector, a snake worshipper, faith healer J. Hovah, a white medicine man, a nude woman on a motorcycle, and a Super Soul (Cleavon Little), a blind DJ who talks to him on the air and turns him into an instant cult hero.
Directed by Richard Sarafian, the film features spectacular stunts, dazzling camerawork, and one of the most unusual car chases in motion picture history. Vanishing Point is a unique, super-charged, action-packed adventure!
