Grace en Jim (een verliefd studentenstelletje) gaan op vakantie naar New-Mexico. Als ze in de regen door de woestijn rijden, staat er ineens een man midden op de weg die ze bijna omver rijden. Als de vreemdeling - die kennelijk autopech heeft - op de auto toeloopt, geven ze toe aan hun angst en rijden weg. Als ze benzine tanken, blijkt dat de man een lift heeft gekregen van een vrachtwagenchauffeur. Vervolgens vraagt de man aan Jim of hij een lift kan krijgen, Jim gaat daar mee akkoord, Grace vindt het maar niks. Als ze uiteindelijk met zijn drieën in de auto zitten komen ze vrij vlot achter de echte bedoelingen van de lifter...
Nee, helaas is The Hitcher nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
