 It stars Peter Gallagher, Victor Rasuk, Brian J. Smith and Benjamin Walker.  Production The film was shot over a twenty-three-day span in Albuquerque, New Mexico. According to Daniels, the shoot was plagued by sandstorms and prop mishaps. Plot David Welch has been suspended from college. He and two friends, Greg and George, spend their time along the U.S.-Mexico border. David is angry at his father, who won't agree to him leaving school to work in the family trucking business. David devises a plan to hijack one of his father's trucks, expecting it to be carrying a shipment of black market TV's from Mexico. The boys succeed in stealing the truck and they temporarily park the locked truck in a desolate area while they look for a purchaser for the stolen goods. David's father vows revenge against whoever stole from him. David is surprised that his father is so upset instead of just seeing the stolen truck as a business loss.  While the truck sits abandoned, Greg pursues Marra, a local Mexican woman, and the other two boys explore their attraction for one another.  The operation goes perfectly until some unidentified men vaguely threaten Marta. She had occasionally helped immigrants to get fake documents, and the traffickers interrogates her on the whereabouts of the cargo. This makes it clear to the trio that the truck must contain something more valuable than just televisions, possibly drugs. Determined to get some profit anyway, they choose to return to the wasteland, take what they can from the truck, and then report its location to the traffickers via an anonymous call. When they unlock the truck's storage, they discover its unexpected cargo. Their rage and fear leads the situation to slip completely out of their control as they confront David's father and the police. One of them ends up being shot.
