At the beginning of the film, we are shown a man named Lewis on the phone with his girlfriend,
Venna. Lewis, who had been previously lived outside the city, took some time off to meet
Venna. However, Lewis said that he had to first pick up his brother, who had just been
released from prison. The journey began on the same day that Lewis bought a secondhand
car that he had been dreaming of for year. He had to deal with several
police officers along his way as a result of his excessive speed.
When he arrived at the police station, he immediately
settled an issue with his driver's licence as well as his car's registration, and at the same time he went
to pick up his elder brother, Fuller. Shortly after, Fuller who had just been released,
still continued to behave as what he did before by purchasing a cb radio and plugging it into Lewis's car.
For those who don't know what this radio is, CB radio or citizen band radio is a radio that allows two-way
communication between individuals. In most countries, truck drivers usually use
this radio to get information about weather or location. However, they had no idea that big problems would soon strike
them both as a result of this newly installed radio.
Fuller even attempted to prank
one of the truck drivers named Rusty Nail. Fuller told Lewis to disguise himself as a
woman, which he did as Candy Cane.
At first, the two of them just wanted to do it for fun,
while going through a long journey. But things got worse when Rusty Nail actually
believed that Candy Cane really had a crush on him. Furthermore, he hadn't felt a woman's love
in a long time. After hearing Candy Cane's flirtation which is getting more intense,
Fuller then made a planned to prank this guy by inviting him to a motel where they would
be staying for one night. When Fuller wanted to make a reservation, he couldn't check in
right away as he had to wait for a guy who was yelling at the receptionist.
After that, Fuller got back into the car and told Lewis to continue seducing Rusty Nail.
As a result, Lewis invited that guy to come to the Lone Star Motel, where they would meet each other
in room number 17. But the room number was not theirs; instead, it was the room number
of a businessman whom Fuller had previously seen at the reception.
Even worse, Rusty Nail still tried to come to the hotel even though it was pouring outside.
Well, assuming that their prank had been succeeded, Lewis and Fuller continued to eavesdrop on
the next room. In fact, they were now staying at the motel's room number eighteen. But the
situation immediately became tense when they didn't hear any laughter at that
time, but instead just heard the sound of someone getting beaten.
Lewis then called one of the hotel receptionists, but the receptionist just said that the condition
in the next room was fine and there was no one staying there. In the morning, Lewis,
who had just woken up was starting to get confused when he saw the police were already
in the hotel complex. It is not known exactly what happened, but the police said they found
a man slumped in the middle of the road. And after finding out his identity, it turned
out that the man was the occupant of room number seventeen. Well, it's clear that yesterday
night's prank was no longer a joke, but had turned into a tragedy for everyone. This included
a businessman who had to be in a coma at the time when Rusty Nail tore his jawbone.
However, the cops will need to gather further evidence to determine whether these actions
led to the truck driver. Fuller and Lewis then checked out of the motel
and continued on their way to pick up Venna. But they didn't expect to find out that Rusty
Nail was still looking for Candy Cane's figure in the middle of their journey. During the
conversation, Rusty Nail said that he had been driving all day to find the Candy Cane
that he loved. But Fuller, still had no intention any of apologising
to the guy, instead hurled insults at Rusty Nail. As a consequence, the situation became even worse,
once they found that the guy had been following them since the afternoon. At the same time,
the car's gasoline supply was running short, therefore they needed to dodge him as fast
as possible by making a sharp turn. Fortunately, there is a petrol station
along the way, which Fuller took advantage to refuel the gas. Meanwhile, Lewis went inside the
small store to call the cops and report that they were trapped at a petrol station.
And it seems that Fuller saw a man who had
just arrived at the location. The man made suspicious moves as he approached the mini market
while carrying a baseball bat with him.
Lewis who saw him was forced to leave the minimarket as
soon as he spotted him. Following that, their suspicions was true when the mysterious truck
driver followed them. Lewis had no other choice but to just break through any dark road until
he didn't realize it was a dead road. Plus, the truck driver was already in the back of their
car, and he rushed over to Lewis and Fuller. But unexpectedly, he only intended to return
Lewis's ATM card, which he had left at the convenience store because he was in a rush.
Regarding why he brought a baseball bat into the mini market, it turns out that the man
only wanted to check the tire pressure. I thought their life would end in this place,
but they were only being chased by regular guy.
After then, the situation began to calm down as the truck driver started to leave the place.
However, they were surprised when the real Rusty Nail began to appear in front of them
at that very moment. It was clear that he was really serious about pursuing Lewis and
Fuller. So there wasn't much they could do at that point other than dodge as fast as
they could and then crash into a tree. In the end, they were unable to stop after Rusty
Nail since he intended to pin them with his jumbo vehicle.
Fuller then tried to apologize at that very moment, and Rusty Nail ended up to go away
from the place. After last night's incident, it looked that Lewis' car had just been repaired,
and Fuller was no longer interested in playing with the car's cb radio.
The following day, Lewis was finally able to meet Venna who had been waiting for a few days. At this moment,
they were also introduced to Venna's friend, Charlotte.
But Charlotte can't go on vacation with them since she already has an appointment with
her another friend. Lewis and Fuller couldn't act weird anymore with Venna's presence, because
they didn't tell them about what had happened to them before. Fuller who thoughts that the
situation had returned to normal, tried to invite Lewis and Venna to have a drink at
a bar which is close to their motel. Once they started to get drunk, Venna was
harassed by several men who seemed to have bad intentions towards her. At that point,
Lewis immediately appeared to beat that guys, and Fuller then invited them both to leave the
place. When Lewis arrived at the motel, it seemed that he was tired
and he fell asleep right away. Well, Fuller took this opportunity to approach Venna, who
was alone in the room without Lewis noticing it.
And he started Fuller started flirting with Venna. At the same time, Lewis had to wake
up from his sleep after he got a call from the hotel receptionist. And when the phone
was picked up, the voice didn't come from the hotel receptionist, but from Rusty Nail.
Lewis who was panicked went straight to Venna's room and he didn't care anymore that his brother
was alone with his girlfriend. But most importantly, Lewis managed to tell
Fuller that Rusty Nail was starting to have an interest in his girlfriend, Venna. Without
They immediately rushed out of the hotel, when they realised what had happen,
unsure of where they want to go at this late hour.
But it turned out that Rusty Nail had also given them a
code through a road sign with the work 'look' printed on it. Therefore, Fuller pulled over
to the side of the road and the three of them immediately got out of the car to check the rear
trunk. It's not known exactly how, but Rusty Nail
has put back a cb radio that Fuller had thrown away. He did it in order to communicate with
them via the radio. Venna, on the other hand, was completely had no idea of what was going on.
But she started to understand once she heard the screams of his own friend, Charlotte.
They immediately realised that Charlotte had been kidnapped by Rusty Nail. Plus, the three
of them are prohibited from reporting that incident to the police.
At this point, Fuller, Lewis and Venna were told to come to a rest stop and follow the
his next directions, which he would explain later. This instruction turned
out to be exclusively for Fuller and Lewis, who were told to enter one of the dining rooms
completely naked this time. Rusty Nail seems to be attempting to offer a deterrent effect
to both of them by telling them how it feels to be embarrassed by others.
Obviously, this action relates to Rusty Nail himself who was embarrassed after previously
entering the men's room, which is the businessman's room. It didn't stop there, the three of them
were told to come again to a place that was far from the town. As can be seen, Rusty Nail
chose to meet them in an area that is entirely surrounded by corn fields.
At this point, they realised that Rusty Nail really did want to run them over with his big truck.
After seeing that truck was speeding towards them,
they immediately ran into the corn fields
They were forced to split from one another at this time, which would be an opportunity for Rusty
Nail. In the end, Venna was kidnapped, and even Lewis's only car was found on fire after
the incident. Fortunately, Fuller and Lewis were still able to hear one piece of information,
which they were both directed to come to a hotel named Medford, and visit one of the
hotel rooms numbered seventeen. They quickly left the cornfield and rushed to steal a parked cars there.
After Fuller succeeded to steal the car, they began to search for the location of a
motel that had been mentioned by the truck driver.
On the other hand, it was seen that Venna was already in a room being held captive by
that man. As we can see, Rusty Nail seemed to have planned something that would kill
Venna in an instant. He even deliberately called the police saying that a crime had
just taken place at the motel. A few minutes later, Lewis and Fuller had arrived at the
hotel Rusty Nail had mentioned. But they found no one in room seventeen. Rusty
Nail was apparently just wanted to repeat a prank that the two of them had done before.
Moreover, the room number is also exactly the same, and Rusty Nail was in room number
eighteen. Fuller then planned to enter the room through the back door secretly without
the mysterious man's notice. However, the truck driver had already predicted
Fuller's movements, and Fuller had to be thrown out of the room. Fuller who had seen Venna was being
held captive while facing a shot gun, still had time to yell at Lewis not to open the door.
As a result,
Lewis didn't open the door as he heard it, but he did lose sight of Rusty Nail, who had
escaped with his truck. Not long after that, the police arrived at
the motel, where their arrival was greeted by the death of the hotel receptionist. The
police officers had absolutely no idea that they were not allowed to open the door to
room number eighteen. In this situation, Lewis began to panic because he still had to save
Fuller who was about to be hit by Rusty Nail. Luckily, this time Lewis was able to save
Venna, who was almost shot at the time, as well as Fuller, whom he had left because he
was desperate to save Venna. As a result, the truck driven by Rusty Nail directly crashed
into the motel. In the end, the mysterious driver could no longer do anything and it turned out that Charlotte
was still alive. Following the incident, Lewis was informed
by one of the officers that the culprit was a truck driver who worked for an ice cube manufacturing
company. Of course, Fuller and Lewis were shocked by what they had just heard, especially
since they knew that the man's ice cube truck had been struck by Rusty Nail in the past.
And before the film ends, they could still hear Rusty Nail, who was asking about weather in
the radio by tuning into every channel available on the other truck's radio.
