  This
webpage is devoted to supporting
Sophia Bush
in her starring role as "Grace Andrews"
in the horror-flick
THE HITCHER,
about two college students on a road-trip who pick up a mysterious hitcher not
knowing about his murderous plans.
From
filmmaker Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes production company (producers of The
Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Amityville Horror) comes
THE HITCHER, an update of the
1986 film of the same name.
Dave Meyers makes his feature directorial debut on the new thriller, which
tracks the terrifying trajectory of Grace Andrews (SOPHIA BUSH) and Jim
Halsey (ZACHARY KNIGHTON), a collegiate couple who are tormented by the
mysterious hitchhiker John Ryder, a.k.a. The Hitcher (SEAN BEAN).
The young couple hit the road in a 1970 Oldsmobile 442, en route to spring
break. But their pleasure trip soon turns into a waking nightmare. The initial
encounters with Ryder are increasingly off-putting for Grace and Jim, and they
bravely fight back when he ambushes them. But they are truly blindsided when he
implicates them in a horrific slaying and continues to shadow them.
The open road becomes a suspenseful, action-packed battleground of blood and
metal as, in trying to elude not only Ryder but also New Mexico State Police
Lieutenant Esteridge's (NEAL MCDONOUGH) officers, Grace and Jim must
fight for their lives and face their fears head-on.
