The Sugarland Express (1974). Based on a true story of real events that happened back in 1969 in Texas, a woman has her child taken from the State and placed in foster care. When she visits her previously incarcerated husband she convinces him to assist her with taking back the child. After hitchhiking, grand theft auto and a car wreck, they take a patrol officer hostage as police and the Texas highway patrol all pursue them. It becomes a risky gambit for all involved, and you would be shocked just how many resources were used to pursue this notorious outlaw couple.
