Directed by Richard C. Sarafian, Vanishing Point follows Kowalski, a delivery driver, driving his white Dodge Challenger in a high-speed chase across the country. This movie came to the forefront with fast car chases, counterculture themes, and a roar of rebellion and freedom. With its raw, unadulterated action and iconic stature, it is still a box-office success in the action genre.
