SHAKER RUN 1985

THE DEADLIEST CARGO, THE ULTIMATE CHASE

- 

AFTER wiping out of the professional US race car circuit, ace American driver Judd Pierson (Cliff Robertson) takes his now-troubled life on the road in an international stunt show, with his trusty mechanic, Casey Lee (1970s teen heartthrob Leif Garrett), in tow.

Unfortunately, a run of bad luck and waning interest in their show finds the pair struggling to make ends meet. While pondering their collective future, a random offer of $3000 for a few hours’ driving lobs in their laps and seems like just what they need to dig them out of their financial hole.

However, the hard case they’ve been entrusted to transport looks extremely suss, and for good reason: they have been hired by a rogue local government scientist, Dr Christine Rubin (Lisa Harrow), who has stolen a deadly virus that was accidentally manufactured as a by-product in her workplace lab.
