Breakdown

In our debut episode of Forgotten Films Podcast, we revisit the tense and underrated 1997 thriller Breakdown. Starring Kurt Russell, this road-trip-gone-wrong story turns a simple desert drive into a gripping fight for survival. We break down what makes the film so effective—from its relentless pacing to its grounded, everyman hero—and explore why it’s largely been overlooked despite delivering pure, edge-of-your-seat suspense. If you love thrillers that keep it simple and do it right, this is one worth rediscovering.
