在这部飞车敢死队剧情/动作/冒险片中,风格独特的飞车动作片。编导乔治．A．罗梅罗企图将一群机车骑士塑造成中世纪跃马沙场的武士，他们由埃德．哈里斯率领组成一个巡回表演团，领袖犹如亚瑟王，其他团员则如圆桌武士，彼此遵循着中世纪的荣誉法则来生活，在八十年代的美国堪称异数。全片故事性比较单薄，所以显得稍嫌松散冗长，但飞车场面拍得不错，特技部分也颇为紧张刺激，在同类影片之中是别具创作野心的佳作。
A travelling troupe of jousters and performers are slowly cracking under the pressure of hick cops, financial troubles and their failure to live up to their own ideals. The group's leader, King Billy, is increasingly unable to maintain his warrior's rule while the Black Knight is being tempted away to LA and stardom, as they all have to ask why they were here in the first place.
