The story

Huey Walker is a hippie and a former New Left radical (in the vein of Abbie Hoffman) who has been on the run from the law for 20 years for something he did not do: disconnecting Spiro Agnew's train car in Spokane, Washington. John Buckner is an FBI agent who is set to transport Walker back to Spokane for trial. Their journey forces them to cross paths with a corrupt Sheriff Hightower and the two end up fleeing for their lives.
