Comboio
Enredo
Aqui está o resumo do enredo: Comboio é um filme de ação americano de 1978 dirigido por Sam Peckinpah, e protagonizado por Kris Kristofferson como Martin "Rubber Duck" Penwald, um camionista de longo curso com a reputação de ser um dos melhores na estrada. Rubber Duck e os seus colegas camionistas, incluindo Pig Pen (Burt Young), Widow Woman (Madge Sinclair) e Spider Mike (Franklyn Seales), usam os seus rádios CB para se manterem em contacto e avisarem-se mutuamente sobre potenciais perigos, como a presença da lei. No entanto, o Xerife Wallace (Ernest Borgnine) é uma figura de autoridade astuta e implacável que se fartou das travessuras dos camionistas. Ele está determinado a apanhá-los em flagrante e a pôr fim ao seu comportamento imprudente. Quando Rubber Duck tem uma discussão acesa com uma empregada de um posto de camiões, Lurene (Ali MacGraw), as coisas pioram. À medida que as tensões aumentam entre os camionistas e o Xerife Wallace, Comboio torna-se uma viagem tensa e cheia de ação, repleta de perseguições de alto risco, tiroteios e confrontos. Rubber Duck e os seus amigos veem-se confrontados com a lei numa batalha de inteligência e vontades, com o destino da sua liberdade em jogo. Ao longo do filme, o estilo característico de Peckinpah transparece no realismo cru e na prosa poética que define o seu trabalho. Os temas do filme sobre rebelião, individualidade e a luta pela liberdade são intemporais e relacionáveis, fazendo de Comboio um clássico cult que continua a ressoar no público de hoje.

Back in my childhood, I vaguely recall the introduction of this movie. Was it perhaps aimed at exposing the dark side of the American empire?

Watched @movie center 20220731. This movie, <Convoy>, could be interpreted as a redneck far-right film, or conversely, even be seen as leaning to the left. The truck convoy parade - what an erotic spectacle!! Trucks, the very word evokes the working class, laboriously earning the means of reproduction. Simultaneously, the truck represents the most powerful production machine of the industrial revolution. As an extension of the driver's body, the truck, with the roar of its V8 engine, relentlessly produces forward momentum, breaking through roadblocks on the highway, charging towards the National Guard that hinders freedom. On the other hand, the truck's mobility (from point to point, always...)

This movie offers at least two compelling aspects: the chaotic and exhilarating bar brawl, and the gleeful, high-speed convoy rampage. Furthermore, it holds historical significance as the first American film released in China after the Cultural Revolution. Sam Peckinpah's contribution is truly remarkable.

A serious attempt that ends up being hilariously bad.

Convoy is a high-octane action film that capitalizes on the CB radio craze of the 1970s. With its rugged, take-no-prisoners hero, Rubber Duck, and a motley crew of truckers, the movie is a thrilling ride from start to finish. The cat-and-mouse game between the truckers and the villainous Sheriff Wallace adds an extra layer of tension, making Convoy a must-see for fans of gritty, action-packed cinema. With its nostalgic charm and over-the-top stunts, this film is a wild ride that never gets old.

"Convoy" delivers a rollicking ride of CB radio wit and highway defiance, as Trucker Rubber Duck and his band of rebels use their radios to outsmart a no-nonsense sheriff. It's a fun, frothy flick that combines camaraderie with a healthy dose of rebellion against authority—just don't tell the cops!

"Convoy" is a fun, action-packed road movie that explores the rebellious spirit of truckers in the 1970s. With its unique blend of humor, camaraderie, and rebelliousness, the film has become a cult classic. The memorable characters, including Rubber Duck and his friends, add to the film's charm. The cat-and-mouse game between the truckers and the sly Sheriff Wallace provides plenty of entertaining moments, making "Convoy" a thrilling ride from start to finish.
