The biggest problem with this film is the technology. Automotive technology, specifically. In the 1980s and earlier, the term "overdrive" meant speed override, and today we call that "cruise control". And nobody thought to put sand in the gas during gas-up.
@Tom Grzybow That's a commonly made mistake as the term "override" gets forgotten in the thought process involving the portion of the compound words, "over", as in "over the top", as in "too much". When the mistake becomes the entire thesis of a movie, the error is amplified in spades.
