Roadhouse 66 is a 1984 American road movie-drama film directed by John Mark Robinson and starring Willem Dafoe, Judge Reinhold, Kate Vernon and Stephen Elliott.[1] The film is set entirely in Kingman, Arizona, and Oatman, Arizona, two towns on the historic U.S. Route 66.

Synopsis

[edit]

A young adult from New York is on his way to California for a business meeting when he runs into trouble with some local hoodlums in Kingman, who shoot at his car and try to run him off the road. He hooks up with a hitchhiker who is also passing through town and turns out to be a former rock and roll musician. The two attempt to set things right in the town, culminating in their entry in an automobile race from Kingman to Oatman and back.
