テキサスで窃盗犯により服役中だった男が脱獄。パトカーをカー・ジャックし、何十台ものパトカーに追跡されながら里子に出された子供の元へ暴走する……。実話を元にしたスピルバーグの劇場用初監督作品。

While searching for a small fortune of embezzled money, an ex-con, a small-time bandleader, his doting wife and a kooky drifter find themselves being followed. Their chase takes them to trailer camps, bingo halls, laundromats and ultimately, a showdown with a group of unconventional bad guys.

A con artist arrives in a mining town controlled by two competing companies. Both companies think he's a famous gunfighter and try to hire him to drive the other out of town.
