Synopsis

In a small town in the California desert, there is a tire rolling around the highway. His name is Robert , he has a special ability, a very special ability to explode objects he wishes without having to move. When Robert, an inanimate tire, discovers his destructive telepathic powers, he soon sets his sights on a desert town; in particular, a mysterious woman becomes his obsession. When Robert finds his love for the woman in vain, he decides to destroy the whole town. With a single idea of "killer tire," the film successfully created suspence and fun throuout the whole running time, proving that a great genre film can be made without big budget or SFX.
