I had never even heard of this 90s-feels-like-70s thriller with Kurt Russell, but Paul Feig recommended it on Films to be Buried With #190.

Jeff (Russell) and his wife Amy (Kathleen Quinlan) have a breakdown on a cross-country trip; Amy gets a ride to a nearby diner from a passing truck driver, only to disappear without trace. A wonderfully tight action-thriller, blending road movie with Hitchcock and a touch of hicksploitation. It should go in a box set with Roadgames. Great fun.
