In Los Angles, on the eve of Thanksgiving, the streets and freeways
are always jammed. But this year the city will be plunged into
unimaginable chaos and disorder by two single-minded and ruthless
men. A criminal mastermind, Doc Simpson, has spent months planning
the theft of priceless Van Gogh paintings from L.A.'s Modern Art
Museum. He has assembled a hardened team of international criminals
- resourceful, cunning and callous. Jed Foster, a young, passionate
- and deranged - ecologist, is determined to demonstrate the
destructiveness of motor vehicles by creating the world's biggest
traffic jam. Jed succeeds - the city spirals out of control.
Marauding bands of looters raid store after store; gangs fight
other gangs and the police; major explosions ground police
helicopters; ambulances and fire trucks can't get to where they're
needed. As the anarchy peaks, Doc Simpson's team emerges from the
Museum with their stolen paintings, to find their getaway barred by
urban chaos. Jed cold-bloodedly escalates the turmoil and the
robbers become ever more violent in preserving their stolen
fortune. Without even being aware of it, the two men are battling
each other. But through the choked streets, the fires, the rioters
and looters, rides a CHP motorcycle cop - Mac McEwen. Ultimately it
will be this unlikely hero - struggling to get the traffic moving,
saving lives, stopping fights, and getting into shoot-outs with
black and Hispanic gangs - who will finally confront Jed and Doc
and destroy both of them and their criminal enterprises...
