Steelyard Blues is a 1973 American comedy crime film, directed by Alan Myerson, and starring Donald Sutherland, Jane Fonda and Peter Boyle.

Plot

A group of misfits tries to find a happier life against the norms of society. Donald Sutherland plays an ex-con with a passion for demolition derbies. He has wrecked almost every possible car. He violates his parole when confronted by a 1950 Studebaker. This embarrasses his brother, a politically ambitious district attorney played by Howard Hesseman in an unlikely respectable role. Jane Fonda plays a prostitute who engages in an off-again/on-again relationship with Sutherland's character. The plot hilariously thickens when this gang of merry misfits tries to repair an old Consolidated PBY Catalina airplane, and get it flying again.
