One of a series of genre TV movies produced by Robert Bruning in the late 70s for Grundys. John Waters stars as an Australian sent home by British intelligence to track down a device that was created to help truckies stay awake longer.
I got confused by the story - it becomes a sort of film noir tale, dimly lit, with Waters being beaten up and knocked out a lot. In one scene he's tortured. But it also has shoot outs with assassins and a climax at a lion park safari running away from lions.
Belinda Giblin is the girl and the cast is full of familiar faces like Tony Barry and Vincent Ball. I wanted to like this more than I did but it was just too confusingly written.
