Damnation Alley Movie Review

After a chilling World War III introduction, this post-Apocalypse film slides downhill quickly. Several disposable characters led by George Peppard and Jan-Michael Vincent set off across America in a huge “landmaster,” in search of Albany. They have a series of improbable adventures, culminating in an ending that is so ridiculous it makes the rest of the film seem almost reasonable. Poorly adapted from Roger Zelazny's fine novel.
