Windsplitter

The Windsplitter is the story of Bobby Joe Smith, who returns to his home in a small town. He has changed his name, his outlook on life, and has a career as a Hollywood star. Bobby Joe finds a renewed love in Jenny Jenkins, his childhood sweetheart, whose father is the town reverend and who believes that Bobby Joe has returned as a corrupt and demoralized person. Jenny's father jealously wants no connections between Bobby and Jenny, and takes measures to keep Bobby Joe from attending any of the Homecoming activities by persuading some local boys to beat him up. This builds to a crashing climax which is utterly shocking and unexpected. In the tradition of cult-classics "Easy Rider" and "Billy Jack!"
