Joy Ride Movie
Lewis Thomas (Paul Walker) takes an opportunity to start an affair with Venna Wilcox (Leelee Sobieski), the girl of his dreams. He buys a jitney and sets out on a road trip to Colorado to pick Venna up at college. On the way, he detours to Salt Lake City to bail his ill-starred older brother, Fuller Thomas (Steve Zahn), out of jail. During their trip fun-loving Fuller decides to play a CB-radio trick on a trucker with a gruff voice which makes your flesh creep. Fuller convinces Lewis to pretend to be a female trucker named "Candy Cane" and make a rendezvous with "Rusty Nail" (Ted Levine) at the motel. The joke works well, and the dudes giggle at the lovelorn trucker. However, they are unaware that foolish pranks may be fraught with grave consequences.
