Synopsis
The story follows an American truck driver working in Australia, hire to drive a load of slaughtered hogs from Melbourne to Perth across a desolate stretch of highway. Stacy Keach plays Quid, an intelligent, self-educated man who is keenly observant of his surroundings, trading quips with his companion, a pet dingo that travels with Quid in his cab. Seems there's a serial killer stalking female victims, and Quid begins to suspect a green van he's seen on the roadways. Soon Quid picks up Hitch (Jamie Lee Curtis), and things begin to unravel at an alarming pace.

Critics' reviews
  • "An above-average suspenser concerning an offbeat truck driver who winds up stalking a murderer."
  • "Suspenseful throughout most of its running time and exceedingly well shot, 'Road Games' collapses at the end."
  • "An Australian thriller that drums up suspense from its assured plotting and direction, and generates humor from its star’s charismatic lead performance"
  • "It's precisely its pretensions which make this a surprisingly agreeable cross of angst-ridden '70s road movie with Hitchcockian thriller."
