The film focuses on a group of survivors held captive at the Dixie Boy Diner by a group of bad-tempered semis. Led by Emilio Estevez, the diner-goers do their impression of Ten Little Indians, waiting their turn until each gets bumped off one by one. There are holes in the plot big enough for the semis to drive through; for example, why don't the trucks run over the diner at the start of the film rather than wait for 90 minutes?~Jeremy Beday Emilio Estevez - Bill Robinson Pat Hingle - Hendershot Laura Harrington - Brett Yeardley Smith - Connie John Short - Curt J.C.
