Grand Theft Auto

A long, long, LONG time before "Apollo 13" and "Solo: A Star Wars Story," Ron Howard made his directorial debut with this smash-'em-up actioner for producer Roger Corman in which Sam Freeman (Howard) and his fiancée Paula (Nancy Morgan) "borrow" her daddy's Rolls and drive from L.A. to Las Vegas to elope. Soon an armada of autos is out to stop the fast-driving couple, and the highways become a demolition derby. With Marion Ross, Barry Cahill, Rance Howard, Clint Howard. 84 min.
