American authorities, in order to protect the interests of big oil oligarchs and encourage resource consumption, enforced a speed limit of 55 kilometers per hour (the most fuel-consuming speed) for truck drivers. A group of truckers nicknamed "Duck" and "Pigpen" were extremely dissatisfied with this and disregarded the law to maintain economically efficient speeds. They engaged in a battle of wits with a corrupt police officer on the highway, and the ranks of the truck drivers grew. The government deployed military police for suppression, ultimately destroying Duck's leading truck on a bridge, but miraculously, Duck survived and was hailed as a hero by the American public. This is the first American film introduced after China's reform and opening-up.
