Thunder Run is a 1986 American action-thriller film directed by Gary Hudson and starring Forrest Tucker and John Ireland.

It was developed by special-effects expert Clifford Wenger Sr. and his wife, Carol Lynn.

[1] It was dedicated to their son, Clifford Wenger Jr., who also worked on the movie on special effects, while simultaneously working on Rambo: First Blood Part II, where he was killed in an explosion accident in 1984.

A good friend lures the trucker out of retirement by offering him a quarter of a million dollars to drive some plutonium from Nevada to a high-security operation in Arizona.

He begins his trek in a high-tech rig unaware that domestic terrorists are waiting to ambush him and his deadly cargo.
