Joy Ride: An Auto Theft

1976 · 13 min Drama
5.7 / 10 · TMDB

In the summer of '76, after pinball and complaining lose their thrill, Val and Tim steal their friend Randal's car. The boys pick up some girls, Kari and Vicki, and go for a ride up in the hills. They intend to return the stolen car before Randal finishes baseball practice, but their adolescent hijinks spiral out of control. The short film seems to be designed to make teenagers see that joyriding isn't just a bit of fun.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Joy Ride: An Auto Theft has mixed reviews with a rating of 5.7/10. Good for a relaxed evening without high expectations.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1976. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
