Synopsis

Based on the 1971 novel by Arthur Hailey, Wheels is about the automobile industry and the day-to-day pressures involved in its operation. The plot lines follow many of the topical issues of the day, including race relations, corporate politics, and business ethics. The auto company of the novel is a little-disguised Ford Motor Company and some of the characters are recognizable to company insiders.

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
bp1974455 I saw this movie when I was 5-7 years old. I remember begging my parents to allow me to stay up to watch it. I believe that it was being re-broadcasted on channel 56 in their 8 O'clock movie timeslot, and my bedtime was probably 7. Eventually, they allowed me to watch one or two nights, so I've never seen the movie in its entirety, but what I saw was enough for me to realize that I wanted to design cars. Before that, all I knew of the auto industry was my grandfather's garage, and the local dealerships. Today, I am an engineer for General Motors. I would love to see the movie that started me on my life-long journey to GM and Detroit. If anyone knows of any way to obtain a copy of this movie, please let me know. Otherwise, I guess I will have to keep my fingers crossed in the hope that someday it will be released on DVD.
ylitalo Roc Hudson and Blair Brown play one of the greatest parts of their careers in this compelling drama about the automobile industry.Wheels, the mini-series, is a wonderful drama wrapped around the ins and outs of the automobile industry.Why, oh why is this mini-series not available on VCR/DVD??? Not only is there a ton of money to be made, but this wonderful dramatic story should be shared with a new generation!Please find out who and how we can make this wonderful dramatic story available for the masses!Thank you for listening!
wheelerjeff I saw this series when it came out. Excellent 70's soap opera filled with scandal and intrigue. Set in the auto industry with corporate spying and power struggles. Fun and entertaining. I would love to have a copy of this in my collection.
GRW-2 Great mini-series! Very engrossing and entertaining. A terrific story about the 1960's auto industry and its effects on the families involved. A fine score by veteran television composer Morton Stevens - (Hawaii Five-0), who received an Emmy Nomination for his music to this 1978 mini-series. A video release would be great!
