The Highwayman

Road trips have never been this killer! Jason Priestley stars as Breakfast, a psychotic jewelry store thief whose grip on reality is frighteningly precarious. With his accomplice Panda, the duo make off with a carload of cash, a result of a tip-off from beautiful cashier Ziggy. Her reward: to hitch a ride with the out-of-control duo so that she can meet her long-lost father Francis. But Breakfast is on a suicidal quest to even a score with his former boss and has the cops hot on his trail. Rage, murder and revenge are about to collide!

Directed by Keoni Waxman, The Highwayman leans on a strong ensemble — Stephen McHattie, Laura Harris, Jason Priestley — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2000.
