SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
From filmmaker Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes production company
(producers of 2003's "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre"
and 2005's "The Amityville Horror")comes "The
Hitcher", an update of the 1986 film of the same name.
Dave Meyers (acclaimed music director) makes his feature
directorial debut on the new thriller, which tracks the terrifying
trajectory of Grace Andrews (Sophia Bush) and Jim Halsey (Zachary
Knighton), a collegiate couple who are tormented by the mysterious
hitchhiker John Ryder, a.k.a. The Hitcher (Sean Bean).
The young couple hit the road in a 1970 Oldsmobile 442, en
route to spring break. But their pleasure trip soon turns
into a waking nightmare. The initial encounters with Ryder
are increasingly off-putting for Grace and Jim, and they bravely
fight back when he ambushes them. But they are truly blindsided
when he implicates them in a horrific slaying and continues
to shadow them.
The open road becomes a suspenseful, action-packed battleground
of blood and metal as, in trying to elude not only Ryder but
also New Mexico State Police Lieutenant Esteridge's (Neal
McDonough) officers, Grace and Jim must fight for their lives
and face their fears head-on.
