Histoire
Vanishing Point follows Kowalski (Barry Newman), a Vietnam War veteran turned car delivery driver who takes a bet to drive a 1970 Dodge Challenger from Denver to San Francisco in less than 15 hours. As he races against time and law enforcement, Kowalski encounters an eclectic mix of characters along the way, including an old prospector, a nude woman on a motorcycle, and a blind DJ who foresees danger ahead. The journey forces Kowalski to recall episodes from his past.
