It’s a story ripped from the headlines: in 1969, a young couple kidnapped a police officer after being flagged for a minor traffic infraction and drove for hundreds of miles across East Texas. With television episodes and a TV movie under his belt, first-time theatrical feature filmmaker Steven Spielberg captures the spirit of this real-life story while giving it the flavor of the era’s countercultural road movies. The Sugarland Express remains as fresh, idiosyncratic, and energetic as when it premiered fifty years ago at New Directors/New Films in New York City and during its year-long theatrical run that followed.
