Freeway is a 1988 American neo-noir thriller film directed by Francis Delia from a screenplay by Darrell Fetty and Delia, based on the 1978 novel of the same name by the then-head of NBC programming, Deanne Barkley.[1][2] It stars Darlanne Fluegel, James Russo, Richard Belzer, Michael Callan, and Billy Drago.[3]

Premise

After her husband’s murderer escapes justice, Sarah "Sunny" Harper (Fluegel) witnesses the work of a spree killer (Drago) who shoots people on the freeway and later quotes Bible passages to a local radio station’s psychiatrist disc jockey (Belzer). Police are unwilling to listen to Sunny, but a former cop named Frank Quinn (Russo) agrees to protect her, and later the two join forces to find the deranged freeway killer before he strikes again.

Cast

Production

The killer, who turns out to be a man who calls himself "Father Eddie," drives a beat-up 1969 Lincoln Continental sedan. The story takes place in Southern California.
