Joyride

One Friday evening, the motel owner's restless son (Tobey Maguire) talks his buddy (Wilson Cruz) into stealing a car for a late-night spin. Anxious to escape from her pandering father, a young guest (Amy Hathaway) at the motel decides to go along - and the three of them set off for the ride of a lifetime. When they discover the dead body of a local doctor in the trunk, they wind up in a vicious battle of wits against the car's owner, a sexy assassin (Christina Naify). To make matters worse, a detective starts snooping around in search for the killer. These offbeat characters turn a teenage prank into a desperate struggle for survival. (Verleiher-Text)
