“This film is a phenomenon. One of my favorite documentaries of all time.” – Quentin Tarantino
Contestants compete in a physically draining, emotionally grueling competition to win a brand-new truck: the last person to remain standing with his or her hand on the pickup will get to drive it home. More than a simple documentary about winning a vehicle, Hands on a Hardbody is a surprising, hilarious, and heartbreaking study of conflict, camaraderie, faith and determination – the ultimate human drama.
“These may not be people whom moviegoers think they want to spend time with, but this is accomplished documentary making, finding universal lessons in determination, struggle, planning, persistence and the relationship of mind and body.” – Anita Gates, New York Times
