Breakdown: 1975

2025 · 92 min Documentary
6.4 / 10 · TMDB

The crash on Highway 101 killed three people and changed five more. This documentary traces the aftermath of a 1975 pileup, not through statistics, but through the fractured lives of survivors and first responders decades later. A 2025 film that pieces together memory, trauma, and the long road to a shared truth, it reveals how a single moment of metal and glass can echo for a lifetime. A profound and intimate work of non-fiction.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director constructs the narrative from archival footage and personal testimonies, placing the viewer directly within the collapsing New York of 1975. A tense atmosphere builds through the accumulation of mundane details and civic strain.

This is for viewers drawn to urban history and social examination. It leaves one with a sobering awareness of systemic fragility and quiet resilience. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Morgan Neville
