A weapons loaded truck explodes and kills the driver. Jack, just out of prison, is pressured into driving another truck from Atlanta to NJ. Things get rough when hijacking attempts are made.
For Jack Crews, the rules of the road are simple: Don’t look at the cargo. Don’t question the route. And don’t stop moving, if you want to stay alive. Jack’s driving days were over until he got an offer he couldn’t refuse. But what was expected to be a straight run up north has taken some unexpected turns. Now, the stakes are high as gun runners, government agents and a fleet of monstrous 18-wheelers pursue Jack in an intense highway duel.
“With those squinty eyes, chiseled jaw and action-hero buzz cut, Patrick Swayze looks like something you’d get in a cereal box in Black Dog, a trucker movie that opened yesterday at Bay Area theaters. In other words, he’s perfectly cast for this bread-and-butter action flick about 18-wheelers, greedy arms dealers and a truckload of AK-47 assault rifles.” – SF Gate
“I liked ‘Black Dog’, for the simple invigorating power and awe of a TRUCK. This is quite honestly the ‘Rambo: First Blood Part II’ of truck movies. I felt like I needed a steering wheel to grip and a horn to honk.” – Aint It Cool
“Swayze is the reason movie works as well as it does, shifting up behind the middle-of-the-road pack and pulling into the fast lane that’s reserved for the more enjoyable action movies of the late 1990s.” – Blu-Ray.com
