On their cross-country drive, a married couple, Jeff and Amy Taylor, experience car trouble after their SUV breaks down. Stranded in the New Mexico desert, the two catch a break when a passing truck driver offers Amy a ride to a nearby café to call for help. Meanwhile, Jeff is able to fix the car and make his way to the café, but Amy isn't there. He tracks down the trucker ― who tells the police he's never seen Jeff or his wife before. Jeff then begins a desperate, frenzied search for Amy.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'Breakdown' is a straightforward action/thriller centered on a missing person case in the desert. There is absolutely no mention or indication that the events take place during the Christmas season, nor do any of the film's core elements (crime, pursuit, survival) align with traditional Christmas themes or iconography."
