What happens

Rainbow Drive is a 1990 American made-for-television thriller film directed by Bobby Roth and starring Peter Weller, Sela Ward and David Caruso. The film first aired on September 8, 1990, on the Showtime Cable Network. It is based on the 1986 novel of the same name by Roderick Thorp. Rainbow Drive was given a very limited theatrical release. It was released in America and the UK on VHS. The film was nominated for one Mystfest award, for "Best Film" (Bobby Roth). The soundtrack was scored by Tangerine Dream, but was never released as a stand-alone release. The title track was later included on the bootleg Prayer of Quiet Dreams in 1993.
