Movie Info

Two small-town teenagers, drag racer Bo (Nick Nolte) and mechanic Harley (Don Johnson), embark on a road trip from Georgia to California with the intention of entering a drag-racing contest. But it's not long before the innocent-minded friends realize this journey will bring them more than they bargained for. Trouble greets them in the form of a runaway waitress (Robin Mattson) who insists on traveling with them and a police sergeant (Robert Viharo) who is determined to throw them in jail.

Critic Reviews for Return to Macon County

All Critics (3) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (2)

All of this may sound fairly uninspired -- and, believe me, it is, but Return to Macon County isn't exactly a bad movie.

Chicago Sun-Times
A boring hunk of amateurism.
