Thieves' Highway

Tanner ist ein skrupelloser Geschäftsmann, der seine LKW-Fahrer gnadenlos ausbeutet. Einer von ihnen, Zack, wagt den Widerstand. Dafür soll er mit dem Leben bezahlen. Aber immer wieder gelingt es T.J. Hooker und Romano, die Mordanschläge auf Zack zu vereiteln.

Against the wishes of his superiors, Hooker insists that he intervene in the situation before the truckers tire against the lack of action taken against the saboteurs, and become vigilantes to deal with things themselves. A new female Police commissioner who doesn't agree with Hooker's methods does not exactly help matters...
