The story

In 1958, two Navy sailors on leave (one portrayed by Sheen's younger brother, Joe Estevez) are speeding in a 1951 Ford Custom to get back to base on time. When driving through Clarksberg, a town infamous for speed traps, they are pursued at high speed by Sheriff Roy Childress (Vic Morrow), who pushes their car over the edge of a sharp mountain curve with his 1957 Plymouth Belvedere police car, killing them. Soon after, a stranger named Michael McCord (Martin Sheen) drives into town in a hot rodded black 1934 Ford three-window coupe, known as "The California Kid".
