Your Three Minutes Are Up is a 1973 American road movie starring Beau Bridges and Ron Leibman.

[1] Charlie is a sad sack of a man, working at a depressingly dull office job and stuck in a passionless engagement to a neurotic woman.

When the two end up on a long road trip together, they are forced to re-examine their lives and worldviews.

[2] Director Douglas Schwartz would work extensively in television, where he would become best known as the creator of the long-running series Baywatch.

Writing in The Washington Post, critic Gary Arnold called it “a surprisingly bright and enjoyable comedy, with serious undertones … The material takes funnier turns and develops more dramatic intensity than one anticipates.”[4] In his Movie Guide, Leonard Maltin wrote that it was an “unpretentious film [that] says more about our society than many more ‘important’ movies.”[5]
