Dirty Mary Crazy Larry

As Larry Rayder (the driver) and Deke Sommers (the mechanic) fire up their 1966 Chevrolet Impala, this dynamic duo embarks on an audacious heist at a local supermarket, all in pursuit of their NASCAR dreams. Their cunning plan comes to fruition as they extort a staggering $150,000 from a naive manager by taking his wife and daughter hostage. With their ill-gotten gains secure, they make a reckless getaway, only to be confronted by Larry’s brief romantic encounter, Mary Coombs, who persuades them to take her along for the ride.

As they speed away from chaos, they attract the attention of Captain Everett Franklin, an eccentric sheriff known for his outdated methods, who initiates a high-speed chase in his vintage patrol cars. Nevertheless, the trio’s modified Impala proves to be too much for him to handle, prompting them to abandon it for a striking 1969 Dodge Charger R/T 440 at a lively flea market. This daring decision paves the way for an exhilarating game of cat-and-mouse, with Captain Franklin pursuing them in his Bell JetRanger helicopter.

Employing their clever escape strategy, Larry masterfully maneuvers the Impala through a sprawling maze of walnut groves. They utilize the trees for cover, eluding aerial tracking and a series of intersecting roads to dodge roadblocks. Their escape seems effortless as they evade a convoy of Dodge Polara patrol cars, inclusive of a high-performance police interceptor intent on chasing the Charger. Even Captain Franklin struggles to keep up with their 440-powered getaway vehicle.

Convinced that they have outsmarted law enforcement, their luck turns dramatically when they unexpectedly crash into a freight train driven by a formidable Alco S-1 locomotive that suddenly emerges from the walnut grove. The thrilling adventure culminates in an unforeseen and dramatic twist, leaving Larry and his companions with the crushing reality of their choices.
