Vanishing Point is considered one of if not the greatest car chase movie of the 20th century. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the release of the 1971 car chase classic 'Vanishing Point', this documentary focuses on and showcases the 1970 Dodge Challenger driven by a man simply known as Kowalski, played by Barry Newman. Delving into its history of production and development of the film and car, along with the legacy it has left behind in the film and car world.

50 years have come and gone. 50 years where the impact of Vanishing Point has grown and left behind a legacy and an image of a white ghost like car and a driver whose full motivation still remains a mystery to this day. There are those who site Vanishing Point as the moment car chases in movies changed forever and those who suggest that perhaps this 1971 classic is the greatest car chase movie to ever be put to celluloid, to which it raises the question as to why such a film shot and released half a century ago and on such a low budget and with an isolated story is still so revered even to this day?
