Comments: A high school guy works in a junkyard. He rides the bus to school. These things make him feel uncool. He aspires to build a truck and leave his small, North Dakota town. Meanwhile, the local oil drilling company hits the deepest pocket of water ever known. Should they drill through to an expected gold-mine of petroleum? Could that link the two stories?
This cute, family film is disrupted by a short shot of vomit. Otherwise, this is a fairly typical movie of girl-meets-boy, and boy doesn't get it, story. There are some underlying political statements; however, this movie is enjoyable and worth viewing. It brings a new meaning to "monster" trucks! This is an example of a good use of computer graphics.
