More dystopian sci-fi fun from the 1970s. A road trip across the USA in a special military vehicle, led by Hannibal from the A Team, String Hawke from Airwolf and Oscar & Emmy award nominated actor Paul Winfield.
They both work at a US missile base and begin the movie by helping to blow up the World in WW3, then eventually travel cross country following up on a radio broadcast from other survivors.
Along the way they visit Vegas, pick up a French girl, who is good at screaming, then later a stroppy kid, and lose a few expendible guys (sorry about that Paul) during encounters with mutant red necks, giant scorpions, swarms of killer cockroaches and desert storms.
A good B movie, which moves along at a brisk pace and afterwards I read up on the vehicle - a one of a kind called the "Landmaster" which was built for real by Dean Jeffires, the same guy who created a number of exotic vehicles for Hollywood during this time, like the Green Hornet's Black Beauty car and the Monkeemobile, and you can still visit it somewhere in the USA to this day.
