The Big Picture Sometimes, a movie comes along that you never knew you needed, slaps you straight across the mug, and wakes you up to its wonderful gifts - such was the case with me and Kurt Russell's underrated '90s thriller Breakdown. This movie is like an adrenaline shot of thrills and unintentional laughs all wrapped up in a tight 90 minutes. On top of it all is Russell's devoted and over-the-top everyman performance, the movie's crowning achievement.
Breakdown A man searches for his missing wife after his car breaks down in the middle of the desert. The film follows Jeff and Amy Taylor , a couple moving across the country whose car breaks down in the middle of the desert. Jeff stays with the car while Amy goes with a truck driver into town to try and find help, but never returns. From there, the truck driver denies ever interacting with Jeff, the cops won't listen, and everyone around this tiny highway town keeps getting shadier and shadier. Jeff is determined to find his wife though, even if he's on the verge of...
It should be required that all engaged couples watch Breakdown together at least once before meeting at the altar. Jeff is the kind of spouse that everyone should aspire to be — this man does absolutely everything to find his wife. He hangs off of big rigs, gets caught up in car chases, takes on white water rapids, is beaten senseless, and even braves waves of gunfire, all for the love of his wife.
