Watch Duster: Synopsis
Lost boys J.J. Abrams and Josh Holloway reunite for a new crime thriller that oozes 70s cool. Taking its cue from the likes of The Getaway, Two-Lane Blacktop and The Driver, Duster aims to take us back to an era when all you needed was an open highway, some rock & roll and one big engine. Read on as we explain how to watch Duster and stream every instalment wherever you are with our guide below.
Holloway, who viewers might remember as Sawyer in Abrams break out show Lost, is perfectly cast as swaggering getaway driver Jim. Working for a crime syndicate run by Keith David’s (Nope) mob boss Ezra, Jim is a man forever on the run. That is until he finds himself the target of the FBI’s first black female agent, Nina (Rachel Hilson, Love, Victor), who’s been tasked with tracking him down. With a proposition leaving his loyalties torn, Jim may just find himself on the right side of the law before the dust settles.
Set in the sun-soaked American southwest, Duster, which Abrams co-created with writer/director LaToya Morgan is a “wildly, stupidly dangerous” crime thriller with all the guns, car chases and steamy chemistry fans of the genre could want.
Inspired by Abrams evocative sighting of a man exiting a car in the desert to answer a lone payphone, the 70s setting isn’t just a way to pay homage the the Hollywood New Wave and the cool charisma of the likes of Steve McQueen, it’s also an opportunity to tell a tale in which characters, not technology, get the story moving. Speaking to Esquire, Morgan said: “It was about getting back to the fun of all those shows from back in the day. The Fall Guy and Starsky & Hutch. No cell phones, no social media. You actually had to have real conversations."
The real star of the show, of course, is the eponymous Plymouth Duster, a true American muscle car. Harking back to the iconic TV cars of old, Abrams and Morgan’s choice of steed conjures memories of the likes of The Dukes of Hazard’s Genral Lee. “We wanted a car that was iconic” says Morgan, “We circled the Duster, which had its heyday for only six years. It was a car that had a reputation for being fast and good, but not a lot of people knew about. We wanted that as our hero car, a car that had personality.”
It sounds like an irresistable throwback show, doing for the 1970s car movie what Starnger Things did for classic Speilberg, so if you’re ready to get revved up, read on for how to watch Duster online from anywhere across the world.
