Synopsis:

Howard plays Hoover Niebold, son of a small-town, no-nonsense sheriff (Warren J. Kemmerling) and a prime candidate for dreary obscurity with his nowhere job and dull love life. Hoover takes a risk and asks out a popular girl (Christopher Norris), but after she demands that he steal the car of a professional racer (Dave Madden), the young hero abandons his innocence for a wild ride. Griffith hammers on the chase action sequences, bolting a camera to the car's hood to instill maximum vertigo in viewers, and constantly finding new and witty ways to jazz up scenes of speeding autos terrorizing the roads. But the real hook is the film's distinctive mix of youthful energy and comic irony, the latter exploding in Griffith's gallery of rural half-wits and neurotic, middle-class stereotypes. A whole cloth Z vision of teen rebellion writ large, Eat My Dust! is a corker.

Hoover (Ron Howard) steals a red-hot race car and tells the world to Eat My Dust! Darlene (Evelyn Russel) is into fast cars, and Hoover (Ron Howard) is into Darlene. When they get their hands on 700 horses, they've got to get into trouble! It's a hot date in a hot car cruising at 150, rubber burning and Smokey can't put it out! Written and Directed by Charles B. Griffith the creator of 'Death Race 2000' and 'Little Shop Of Horrors' and featuring a cult Corman cast including The Partridge Family's Dave Madden, Clint Howard (Rock 'n' Roll High School), Paul Bartel (Eating Raoul), Corbin Bernson (LA Law) and Brad Davis (Midnight Express), 'Eat My Dust' is a screaming, squealing, shattering smash-a-thon!

A California sheriff's son and his girlfriend go for a joyride in a stolen stock car.
