Motorama is an American road movie released in 1991. It is a surrealistic film about a ten-year-old runaway boy on a road trip for the purpose of collecting game pieces from the fictional "Chimera" gas stations, in order to spell out the word M-O-T-O-R-A-M-A. By doing so he will supposedly win the grand prize of $500 million. The film features cameos by Drew Barrymore, Flea, Jack Nance, Robert Picardo, and Meat Loaf. It was written by Joseph Minion, screenwriter of After Hours. Parts of the movie were filmed in and around Lake Powell and the city of Page, Arizona. In one scene, Gus, the... title character, is shown driving on top of the Glen Canyon Dam . The gated entrance to "Essex", a fictional state in the movie, is actually the service entrance to the Glen Canyon Dam. The Navajo Generating Station near Page is shown in several scenes as well. The strange looking paper currency used throughout the film are slightly modified versions of Dutch Guilder notes.
