Shell-shocked former soldier Vic Fury (a solid and likeable performance by Pete Belcher) gets released from a sanitorium. Vic has run ins with all sorts of dangerous kooks while en route to his hometown.
Writer/director Robert Zemeckis keeps the eventful story moving along at a zippy pace, maintains an engaging irreverent tone throughout, and milks plenty of laughs from a wickedly funny sense of darkly ironic and absurdist humor. Moreover, this short further benefits from a colorful array of wacky characters, with especially memorable contributions from Miltos Cottis as a huffy bus driver, Pat O'Hara as an antagonistic hard hat, and Roger Pancake as Vic's unhinged crippled war vet dad. A total hoot.
