Life on the assembly line stinks. Glue the windshield . . . Stick on the sleeve . . . Glue the windshield . . . One car a minute. 55 an hour. 220,000 a year. The pay is lousy. The union is crooked. Life is an endless list of unpaid bills. And now three workers (Richard Pryor, Harvey Keitel and Yaphet Kotto) take extreme action to change their lives of not so quiet desperation.
