WHEELIN' and DEALIN' and STEALIN' will take them far... unless they try it with the wrong car!

Billy meets up with the street wise weasel (Strother Martin), together they form the hottest driving, fastest talking, car repossession team you've ever seen. There is one ticket out of town and Billy is going to find it even if he has to steal it. He has a score to settle and when he goes for the big one he knows he's playing for keeps. One mans [sic] car and another mans [sic] girl adds up to big trouble, can he escape with both and his own life? Find out in 'HOTWIRE' the wildest ride you'll ever take!
