"Una ragazza con un grande seguito. Ogni poliziotto dello stato la cercava. Tutti gli altri erano dalla sua parte."
Sugarland Express
Una giovane donna convince il marito ad evadere di prigione, nonostante gli rimangano solo quattro mesi da scontare, per raggiungere il figlioletto affidato ad un'anziana coppia di coniugi. I due si impadroniscono poi di un'auto della polizia, prendendo in ostaggio l'autista. All'inseguimento della coppia si lanciano subito diverse pattuglie delle forze dell'ordine alle quali, via via, se ne aggiungono altre. Il gigantesco carosello viene seguito con emozione, per radio e per televisione, da migliaia di persone. La donna si sente un'eroina e convince il marito a non arrendersi.

On a similar note, the look and feel of the film is absolutely outstanding; it has aged remarkably well visually, almost hard to believe it came out in 1974!

**_Inspired by the real-life incident from May 2, 1969, mixed with…_** …elements of the Bonnie & Clyde account from 35 years earlier, such as the way Americans were rooting for the couple.
