He’s a skip tracer, the last of the bounty hunters, living on blood money and borrowed time. Isaac Hayes is Truck Turner – a football star turned bounty hunter who’s tracking a sadistic pimp on the mean streets of Los Angeles. But when a tragic accident changes all the rules, suddenly the hunter finds himself being hunted by the city’s deadliest hired killers!
SIFF year-round passes and vouchers are not valid for this screening.
Truck strikes back in a series of wild car chases, shootouts, and bone-crushing fistfights, knowing that the battles can lead to only one place: an intense struggle to the death against the brutal leader of L.A.’s crime syndicate, Harvard Blue (Yaphet Kotto).
Featuring an outstanding score by Hayes, a show stopping performance by Nichelle Nichols, and direction by Jonathan Kaplan (OVER THE EDGE), TRUCK TURNER is an explosive force that can’t be stopped!
