Deadhead Miles

Deadhead Miles is a 1972 American absurdist comedyroad film directed by Vernon Zimmerman, written by Terrence Malick, and stars Alan Arkin as Cooper, a hillbilly drifter who takes a Peterbilt semi-truck with stolen goods on a long haul cross-country trip along with an unnamed English hitchhiker (Paul Benedict).

The film was shot entirely on location in and around the cities of Knoxville and Nashville in Tennessee, Madrid and Santa Fe in New Mexico, and Chino and Sacramento in California around late 1970 to early 1971.
