Ride the Hot Wind is a 1971 film. It was made by Ted Kelly who was a good friend of Audie Murphy.

Plot

Captain Gregory Shank (Tommy Kirk) is a Vietnam vet that hooks up with bikers.

Production

Tommy Kirk starred and later recalled about the movie:

This was his [Kelly's] attempt to do a sympathetic dramatisation of a Lieutenant Calley-type character (My Lai massacre) coming home and portraying his bitterness, alienation and unhappiness at being fingered as a murderer, a baby killer and a monster. That's who I played. I'm not completely embarrassed by the film, but after I saw it, I wished they would have cut some things. Some of it was pretty stinko. Other things weren't so bad. The movie as a whole was a failure, but it wasn't trash.[1]
