IMDb's plot summary for Breaker! Breaker! Is short and sweet – "Truck driver searches for his brother, who has disappeared in a town run by a corrupt judge." There's really not much more that needs to be said about the plot. Chuck Norris goes looking for his brother, discovers he disappeared in a backwoods town, kicks everyone in sight, calls his trucker buddies to bust up the buildings, rescues his bother. That's it. There are no twists or turns or other surprises. Breaker! Breaker! moves from point A to point B in the straightest line imaginable. If the writers spent more than 30 minutes on the script, they were wasting their time. For me, Breaker! Breaker! is predictable, silly, and not a lot of fun. Watching Breaker! Breaker!, it's difficult to believe that Norris would go on to have the film career he did. Other than kicking a few dudes, Norris doesn't offer much. He was never an award quality actor, but some of his films are at least entertaining. Even some of his early films are fun – I especially enjoy Silent Rage. I say this to point out that I'm not a hater – I just don't enjoy this movie. Two things that I did, however, enjoy were the performances of George Murdock and Jack Nance. Murdock's over-the-top portrayal of Judge Joshua Trimmings is one of the few highlights. And Jack Nance is always a lot of fun. It's a shame these guys are wasted in this turkey of a film.

Dumb bit of business that has some value as an unintentional comedy but nothing else. Chuck Norris stars as a high-kicking truck driver out to find his little brother, who ran into trouble in a hick town in California run by a cartoon villain. This really could have been fun but, sadly, it's not. The script is full of tired clichés and cardboard characters. The production values are so cheap it looks like it was made for television. The town where the bulk of the movie takes place appears to be one of those old western sets from the silent movie days. I doubt there's more than ten nails holding up the whole place. The climax involving a convoy of truckers demolishing the town is pretty unimpressive since a good gust of wind would've done the trick. Chuck gets to do some arm wrestling, barroom brawling, lovemaking, and, of course, kicking. Speaking of which, the fight scenes are nothing to brag about. The highlight of the movie is the corny montage of Chuck and his girlfriend walking and talking while some cheesy song plays. This is really a stinker. It was obviously meant to cash in on the short-lived trucker and CB craze of the '70s, one of the most baffling fads ever. Like I said before, some fun could have been had here but this is just a slog to get through.

Breaker! Breaker! Here we got Chuck Norris with his golden blonde hair flowing in the wind starring in his first leading role, where he's not only kicking ass (that's hillbilly ass), but driving a truck. That's a ten-four. "Breaker! Breaker!" is an ultra-cheap, b-grade action outing where marital arts meet spaghetti western… kind of. Well it has that operatic style in its clunky direction, like the outstanding climatic showdown. Close ups on the faces, slow-motion and a rousing score. One-sided, but powerful. Everything about this feature is daft (especially the truck convey to the rescue), but it doesn't seem to know that. Still it's rather amusing watching Norris in a small backwoods town causing a ruckus. Ultimate chaos! "Dukes of Hazards" chaos. Looks like all in a good days work. Easy work too. I don't think I ever saw him break a sweat, moving on from one encounter to another. What occurs it just so unhinged, if pedestrian. The story is threadbare, as trucker Billy Dawes disappears during his first solo run, so his older brother J.D sets out to find him. This leads J.D to a small remote community that's run by a corrupt judge who preys upon unsuspecting motorists. Simple, but fairly madcap with a comical air. The villains corn it up, as George Murdock goes over-the-top as the crazy judge. Norris looking good in double denim and black gloves goes about his business accordingly. Deadpan, but in what counts it's a marvel to see him in his element. Even when he's beaten up or wounding a gunshot. Nothing slows down this man on a mission. Of brotherly love. Then you got the southern hillbilly twang to the music score, you know that boot kicking stuff. An oddball, low-grade action Norris fare."I'm not going anywhere until I know where my brother is."

Directed by third-rate schlock artist Don Hulette, the 1977 Chuck Norris film "Breaker! Breaker!" doesn't do its future star any favors. The script is moronic, the cinematography is amateurish and the acting, with the exception of veteran George Murdock, is uniformly terrible. The plot is something out of a drunken CBer's nightmare. Chuck's little brother (played by Michael Augenstein) is abducted while driving his truck through a small lawless Texas town (called "Texas City"). The judge (Murdock) and his police force of goons control the town and make money off of wayward strangers who pass through. The whole town is in cahoots with them and it seems everyone who resides there is either a complete idiot or just plain criminally insane. When old Chuck drops in to investigate his brother's whereabouts, he's soon battling the entire population. That's no problem for our hero, however. After administering a few karate kicks to the groins of these morons, Chuck is well on his way to solving the mystery. The highlight (if one could call it that) of this nonsense is when Chuck's fellow truckers come rambling through Texas City and level the place once and for all. What took them so long?Norris went on to big and better things after this turkey and his acting, although still a bit wooden for most tastes, improved "dramatically" over time. Murdock, a well-seasoned and respected character actor, must have needed a paycheck really bad to involve himself in this mess of a movie. For viewing audiences, the pain of sitting through this abomination is at least mercifully short (less than 90 minutes). I'm sure Mr. Norris has buried this one in his vault---and sealed it shut.
