In the 1986 movie, directed by Mike Marvin, “When four glowing orbs crash into each other over the Arizona desert, they leave in their wake a Dodge Turbo Interceptor — and its enigmatic, helmeted driver. The next day, the mysterious Jake (Charlie Sheen) appears in the town of Brooks, catching the eye of Keri (Sherilyn Fenn) and the ire of Packard (Nick Cassavetes), the ruthless leader of a gang of street racers. When gang members start losing races — and lives — to the Interceptor, the recent death of Keri’s boyfriend suddenly seems connected to the arrival of Jake, the unbeatable car… and an avenging entity called The Wraith.”
