Film Synopsis
Los Angeles, 1969, a time of increasing unrest in the city's universities. Marc, a solitary young man, is ready to die for the revolutionary cause, but he has no intention of dying of boredom. He becomes so disgusted by the arbitrary arrests taking place around him that he buys a gun to protect himself. When he witnesses the killing of a black person by a police officer, he is about to fire back when the cop is shot dead. Fearing that he will be arrested for a crime he has not committed, Marc steals an aeroplane and heads for the desert, but escape is not so easy as he imagines...© James Travers
