[+]
(Foreign Titles)
Nomination Year: 1997
SYNOPSIS: When a young man lies about his employment status to get a discount drive-in admission for himself and his hot new date, he gets more than he bargained for. A lot more. The tires on his brother's vintage car (which he borrowed) get stolen, and he and his date are forced to stay there for what seems an eternity...because it is. The owner of the drive-in is particularly unhelpful, but does give them food and blanket vouchers. Vouchers? Apparently, this happens all the time; hundreds of others are stuck there with them. What a coincidence, huh? The young man won't take this imprisonment lying down. After trying scheme after tricky scheme, he eventually escapes by the brute force method -- stealing weapons and shooting his way out through a slew of police.
