Highway

As the film opens, Pilot (played by Jake Gyllenhaal) poses as a valet to take a customer's Rolls Royce convertible from a casino. During a joy ride, he gives his girlfriend, Lucy, a ride to work, then returns the vehicle. Jack (played by Jared Leto) is self-employed cleaning swimming pools in the Las Vegas area. He's a man with a reputation. Jack responds to the sexual overtures from Jilly (Kimberley Kates), who turns out to be the wife of Burt Miranda (Mark Rolston), an organized crime figure. One day Burt arrives home unexpectedly, and finds Jack and Jilly having sex. Although Burt is armed, Jack escapes the encounter (after Jilly protests that she was "raped"). Miranda sends a couple of goons — intent on "breaking his feet" — after Jack. The two decide to head for Seattle. The road trip begins.
