Emilio Estevez stars in this cult classic as a street punk who reluctantly takes a job as a repo man and becomes involved in a government conspiracy involving UFO's and a mysterious 1960's Chevy Malibu containing a dangerous cargo.

Though the film has amassed a huge cult following since its 1984 release, the plot and premise are things which you would only find in a 1980's movie and certain elements have dated quite badly. 

Enjoyable enough as a one-off watch, but it really hasn't stood the test of time.
