http://urllio.com/r0lrrTruck drivers Steve Hackett and Bill Purvis are fired from their jobs with the West Coast Trucking company for not using second-gear going down steep grades. Davis, the company vice-president, surprisingly asks them to carry a load of merchandise to Arrowhead and offers a $1000 bonus. He tells them it is a load of lettuce. Several miles out of Los Angelese, they are stopped by a mob of lettuce-farm workers on strike. When the first crate is tossed off the truck, it explodes and the two pals learn their merchandise is a cargo of dynamite. The workers let them proceed and they crash into a car driven by Mary Stevens, whom they had met at a restaurant. She and her dog, "Butch" (played by a Credited dog named Stooge), join them and they deliver their cargo, and learn unscrupulous real-estate operators have jammed the locks on the dam in order to ruin the ranchers and farmers and take over their property.
A greedy land baron has shut down the dam that supplies water to the town of Indian Head. Two truck drivers race to get a truck loaded with dynamite to the dam so they can blow it, but must battle their way through a gang of armed thugs hired by the land baron to stop them.
Or perhaps 'Snoozer' would be the right term for an undiscovered masterpiece of bad film making. <br/><br/>If you've ever seen THEY DRIVE BY NIGHT, you may know there was a genre of trucking pictures in the late 1930s. Well, this is a SINGING trucking picture. Yes, Ward Bond sings! And no ordinary songs of love and the open range, but songs of the dangers of trucking and truck stops and blowouts. Surprisingly, the score was not considered worthy of being nominated for an Oscar.<br/><br/>Then there's the plot, which is about two truckers who are not in the least surprised to be given a $1000 bonus to drive lettuce to market, how they discover it's dynamite and the beautiful woman who doesn't believe them. <br/><br/>Given the not inconsiderable talent -- that's Western director Joseph Kane behind the camera -- it's a real achievement for a movie this bad to show up. Take a look if you don't believe it. You'll find yourself humming 'Danger Ahead'.
Truth be told, "Born To Be Wild" is not a good film, but there are much worse. Starting with the title - it seems to fit a JD flick or a biker flick better than it does in this trucker's movie, as really, who exactly is 'born to be wild?' It certainly isn't the truck driving stars, who aren't that wild at all. Matter of fact, one just wants to sleep, and the other breaks out in song at weird times! What kind of songs? Truck driving songs of course! The plot - our two "wild" drivers are hired to haul a truckload of lettuce (which is really dynamite) for a grand (each? never specified) while bad guys of some sort try to stop them. It all gets revealed in the film's last ten minutes, in a confusing array of nonsense which you are not going to care about.<br/><br/>As they are hauling, you'll see it's mostly a dull trip. There is a LOT of talking, and it's all that 1930's real fast "witty" talk that either cracks you up, makes you roll your eyes, up, or both. There is a good quick scene where their truck smashes a car.<br/><br/>The pretty girl they pick up is kind of a secret agent, or double agent, or, well, who cares. It's explained later but by then even though the movie is just over an hour, you are too exhausted to care who is who and why.<br/><br/>There is some interesting miniature special effects work at the end which is fun to see. The film also has probably the worst and least convincing "fake background scenery scenes as we show the people driving" scenes ever done.<br/><br/>"Born To Be Wild" isn't wild at all, but may interest you if you are feeling sick on an afternoon where you have NOTHING better to watch on hand for a little while.
