The 3, 000 Mile Chase (1977 TV Movie) User Reviews

A bonded courier

[bkoganbing · 5/10 · 17 February 2021]

The 3000 Mile Chase is what Cliff DeYoung and Blair Brown are on escorting Glenn Ford and wife Priscilla Pointer are on. A journey cross country from southern California to New York to bring Ford unharmed to testify as a witness against mob boss Tito Vandis. Of course Tito has a lot of his nasty employes looking to see he doesn't make it.

This looked very much like a pilot series for Cliff DeYoung who was up and coming during the 70s. DeYoung is a most resourceful fellow against some steep odds in the mission. DeYoung is a bonded courier who usually delivers inanimate items to their assigned destination. This one is a special assignment.

Might have worked as a series.

OK crime flick

An acceptable TV product, as we saw so many in the 70's. I won't repeat the topic told in the plot line above. Nothing really new here, but I repeat very well done. No boredom in this entertaining tale, not a road movie as we could expect for a story that takes place all along the USA, through motorways and wilderness, with a bunch of killers who tack down a group of people, the good ones.

The character development is interesting, especially the ending, which is not expectable. We even can feel some sadness.

Very cute TVM.

The director, Russ Mayberry gave us many other items. I guess there are all worth.
