Directed by Hal Needham ( Smokey And The Bandit, The Cannonball Run ), RAD follows Cru Jones (Bill Allen), a small-town kid determined to win an infamous BMX race set on a nearly impossible course known as Helltrack. A sleeper hit upon its initial release, RAD has become one of the iconic cult films of the 1980s and amongst BMX professionals, spawning fan clubs and repertory film screenings for decades. RAD was written by Sam Bernard and Geoffrey Edwards, produced by Robert L. Levy ( Wedding Crashers ) and executive produced by Jack Schwartzman ( Being There, Never Say Never Again ).
