I am trying to find the title of a movie (which I think includes the words hitch hiker in its title). It is the story of young man who leaves his urban environment and sets out to hitch hike, jump freight trains, etc. toward the west coast, to visit his uncle. Along the way he meets up with a young boys who escapes from a juvenile corrections program. There is no violence or axe murderer type of activity. It is just a simple story set in contemporary times.
