Freeway is a 1988 independent neo-noir thriller film starring Darlanne Fluegel, James Russo, Billy Drago, and Richard Belzer.[1]
Directed by Francis Delia and written by Delia and Darrell Fetty, the film is based on a 1978 novel of the same name by then-NBC head-of-programming Deanne Barkley.[2][3]
Plot
After the earlier loss of her husband to the killer, Sarah 'Sunny' Harper (Fluegel) becomes a witness to the work of a Biblically-obsessed spree killer (Drago) who shoots people on the freeway and who phones-in to a local radio talk station and quotes Biblical passages to the psychiatrist disc jockey (Belzer). After a lack of co-operation from the local police department, protected by a former cop named Frank Quinn (Russo), Harper later joins Quinn in trying to find the killer.
