The Carters are an idyllic American family travelling through the great American southwest. But their trip takes a detour into an area closed off from the public, but more importantly from society. An area originally used by the U.S. Government for nuclear testing that was intended to remain empty. When the Carter's car breaks down at the old site, they find themselves stranded. As the Carters may soon realize that what seemed like a car casually...

Two survivors from the original now own a dirt-bike team, whose first race will be held in the same desert from which they escaped death eight years ago.

Wes Craven's cult classic finds an all-American suburban family fighting for their lives against an inbred family of marauding cannibals. Stuck in the desert after their car breaks down, the Carter family become play-things for the bloodthirsty clan.
