Central Cinema is pleased to welcome star C. Thomas Howell (in town for Fanboy Expo July 12-14) for this special screening of the classic 1986 thriller, followed by an audience Q&A and meet & greet session! (Meet & greet will be separately ticketed via Howell’s website; more info to come.)

While transporting a car from Chicago to San Diego, Jim Halsey (C. Thomas Howell) picks up a hitchhiker named John Ryder (Rutger Hauer), who claims to be a serial killer. After a daring escape, Jim hopes to never see Ryder again. But when he witnesses the hitchhiker murdering an entire family, Jim pursues Ryder with the help of truck-stop waitress Nash (Jennifer Jason Leigh), pitting the rivals against each other in a deadly series of car chases and brutal murders.
