Descriind pe larg povestea spusa de cantaretii de muzica country intr-un cantec cu acelasi nume, filmul prezinta vendeta personala a unui sofer de camion impotriva unui serif nedrept si care face abuz de putere. Colegii lui il vor sustine marsaluind alaturi de el fiecare in masina lui, formand astfel un convoi lung de o mila..
While driving through the Arizona desert, Albuquerque based independent trucker Martin Penwald - who goes by the handle "Rubber Duck" - along with his fellow truckers "Pig Pen" and "Spider Mike", are entrapped by unscrupulous Sheriff Lyle "Cottonmouth" Wallace using a key tool of the trucker's trade, the citizens' band (CB) radio. Rubber Duck and Cottonmouth have a long, antagonistic history. When this encounter later escalates into a more physical one as Cottonmouth threatens Spider Mike, a man who just wants to get home to his pregnant wife, Rubber Duck and other the truckers involved, including Spider Mike, Pig Pen and "Widow Woman", go on the run, figuring the best thing to do being to head to New Mexico to avoid prosecution. Along for the ride is Melissa, a beautiful photographer who just wanted a ride to the airport. As news of what happened spreads over the CB airwaves, other truckers join their convoy as a show of support. Cottonmouth rallies other law enforcement officers ...
Anatra di gomma”, un capo-camionista, si ribella ai soprusi di un esoso poliziotto stradale e protesta, in Arizona, con decine e decine di camionisti solidali. Qualche cedimento e qualche stereotipo sono riscattati dal talento visionario di S. Peckinpah che offre momenti memorabili. La corsa dei camion sulla pista sabbiosa al ritmo di una canzone country è un pezzo d’antologia. Discontinuo anche perché maciullato al montaggio.
