The Sugarland Express

The Sugarland Express

'The Sugarland Express' is based on the true story of Lou Jean Poplin, who kidnapped a Texas State Trooper and led the police on a wild chase across the state in an effort to save her son from adoption. This complex role was enough to lure superstar Goldie Hawn back to the screen after a one-year hiatus following her Oscar?-winning performance in 'Cactus Flower'. It also marks the feature film debut of a young, now famous, director, Steven Spielberg.

Synopsis: A young woman breaks her husband out of prison to save their child from unwanted adoption. The two hijack a police car and its occupant, holding him hostage as they are pursued by much of the state of Texas.
