He delivered his own brand of justice on a rampage of revenge...

Steel Cowboy is one of an overabundance of "trucker" films (made for both TV and theaters) inflicted upon the public in the mid- to late-'70s. James Brolin stars as an independent trucker weighed down with financial difficulties. When first we meet him, he is in danger of losing both his rig and his wife (Jennifer Warren). In desperation, Brolin agrees to haul a cargo of hijacked cattle. The inescapable musical score is evocatively rendered by Juice Newton and The Silver Spur. Steel Cowboy pulled into America's TV screens on December 6, 1978.

A trucker is on the run and in command of tons of metal, rubber and diesel. Hunted and targeted for justice, Clayton Pfanner must utilize all of his experience and skills to negotiate the highways and pursuers. About to go broke and unable to make his truck payments, Clayton hauls stolen cattle for a black market bigwig, and manages to outsmart the opposition. "Steel Cowboy" features a star line-up including James Brolin, Rip Torn, Jennifer Warren and Melanie Griffith.

airdate: December 6, 1978 On NBC
