If you loved The Hitcher, try Highwaymen
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Highwaymen has roughly 4.6× fewer votes than The Hitcher — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Robert Harmon, and they sit in Action / Horror / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Hitcher, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Highwaymen is
Texas blacktop. Summer. Distant engine whine. A widow-maker Cadillac Eldorado crisscrosses state lines, leaving carnage. The dead woman's husband gives chase, joined by unlikely allies. Harmon's road movie plays like a grim update of Spielberg's *Duel*.
