Plot
Storyline
Three truckers harassed by a corrupt Arizona sheriff spark a spontaneous, cross-state protest convoy that grows into a national spectacle with law enforcement, politicians, and the public all forced to take sides.
Rubber Duck lives by the momentum of the open road, but his internal compass is permanently skewed toward confrontation. When a predatory lawman pushes a vulnerable friend too far, Duck's hair-trigger temper ignites a brawl that leaves the local precinct in ruins. Forced into a high speed exodus, he retreats into the steel cab of his rig. His defining vice is a refusal to yield to any authority, even when his cargo is a ticking bomb. This stubborn pride draws a legion of followers to his rear bumper, turning a personal grudge into a public crusade. He risks the lives of his peers to maintain a facade of freedom, eventually facing a bridge he cannot cross without total self destruction.
