This is one of the later productions of the Cinema and Television Film Foundation when they had very little in the way of cinema audiences as most of the Saturday morning clubs run by Odeon and ABC had closed. Nearly all the children were watching Saturday morning tv on either BBC or ITV. Well they wont have missed much..
There is a gang of thieves who want capture large lorries by luring them to a deserted industrial site. Here the female boss,a real tyrant,rules over the mandatorycomic henchmen. They capture a lorry they dont want and so have to set another trap for the one they want. We dont know what the macguffin is though. The thieves dont realise that the driver has his children with him. So when the driver is hauled out of the cab they try to raise other drivers on the CB radio. However they are then captured but manage to wriggle free where ther is a comic chase over the derilict building. If youve seen otherr CFF films you will know what i am talking about. The children are captured again and put with their father in a tunnel. However when they ask the crook guarding them for a glass of water they manage to get free. They manage to get free for a while and are able to alert other lorry drivers who come to their rescue.
The problem is that if you have seen other CFF films you know what is going to happen here.
The acting isnt very good and the music is very intrusive. Not one to remember the CFF by.
