8.0The last American hero to whom speed means freedom of the soul. Vanishing Point is directed by Richard Sarafian and written by Guillermo Cain. It stars Barry Newman, Cleavon Little and Dean.

His journey will see him constantly pursued by the police and come into contact with a number of interesting characters.

9.093/100 Attracting the cops to his speeding, a car delivery specialist is pursued by law enforcement through 3 states while driving a souped-up 1970 Dodge Challenger. Arguably the best chase film ever made and not just because of the chase. This film also touches heavily on the '70s culture, intolerance, a police force's incessant need to stop him when all he's really guilty of is speeding, excellent music, and some truly colorful characters. Add in the flashbacks of our protagonist's life and the vanishing point becomes increasingly clear. Remarkably good film! -- DrNostromo.com
