The CB (citizen's band) radio fad had nearly run its course when this feel-good action film was made by director Sam Peckinpah. In the story, based on C.W. McCall's song "Convoy", a group of struggling truckers (who stay in touch by CB) run into a situation which ignites their indignation. They arrange to form a truck convoy under the leadership of the man whose CB nickname is "Rubber Duck" (Kris Kristofferson). He is the most aggrieved of the bunch, having been harassed beyond the point of

A bad joke that backfires on the director.
Convoy continues Peckinpah's voyage into "nihilist poetry," in the phrase of Pauline Kael...
Unmotivated story riddled with confusion and disarray. Production staff does the job with little imagination.
Like "The Getaway," only it sucks.
Peckinpah's classic Trucker movie is still good. Makes you want to get a CB, name yourself after a children?s toy and drive a truck.

Bloody awful! The only Peckinpah movie I would never watch again. If you're going to base a movie on a song, at least pick a decent fucking song!!! Makes Smokey and the Bandit look like Citizen Kane.
