Synopsis

Two Texas border guards, a young hotshot and his older and more cynical partner, find a jeep buried for 20 years in the desert, with a skeleton, a scoped rifle, and a box with $800,000 in cash. They decide to keep the money, but quietly check up on the cryptic info they've found on the dead driver. Soon, the Feds are running all over the place, and it looks like the jeep may be linked to the JFK assassination. But the Feds are trying to cover it up, and eliminate anyone who knows about the jeep.

Editorial

Why Eltorama recommends this film

Kris Kristofferson and Treat Williams play Texas border patrolmen who unearth a buried Cadillac with a corpse and a fortune inside. The film is forgotten. The Tangerine Dream score is collected. The synth-Western has not improved since.
