The American Way, also known as Riders of the Storm, is a 1986 American science fiction comedy film directed by Maurice Phillips and starring Dennis Hopper and Michael J. Pollard.[1] [2] [3]
S&M TV is a pirate television station, broadcasting from a B-29 plane by a group of disgruntled Vietnam war veterans. After many years, the crew considers accepting an offer of amnesty, broadcasting legitimately, and going back to more normal lives. However, as the US Presidential campaign is starting, the captain of the plane decides S&M has a last job to do: to prevent the pro-war conservative candidate from winning the election.
Parts of the film were shot at Glen Canyon in Utah.[4]
