Wiki.
The Hitcher is a 1986 American horror-thriller film directed by Robert Harmon and written by Eric Red.

Jeffrey DeMunn and Jennifer Jason Leigh appear in supporting roles.
Released in the United States on February 21, 1986, the film was met with tepid critical and commercial response, grossing $5.8 million on a $7.9 million budget. The film was followed by a 2003 sequel, The Hitcher II: I've Been Waiting, which featured Howell reprising his role, and a 2007 remake.
