This is a really great movie, based on a true story. This movie is based on a true story of a two prison escapees and one of the escapees sons, traveling around the SW part of the United States, brutally murdering people from Arizona to Colorado, and traveling through New Mexico and parts of Texas before being killed in the desert of Arizona by Arizona Law Enforcement Officers. I highly recommend watching this movie if a chance arises for you to do so. I believe the last time this was on tv, it was on TBS or TNT tv. If you get a chance to tape it off of television, I suggest you do so, since a VHS or DVD copy is not available at the present time.
