The story of two men from Cape Breton, Pete (Doug McGrath) and Joey (Paul Bradley), trekking west in their Chevy Impala to find prosperity in the big city of Toronto, Goin’ Down the Road remains a seminal (if not the seminal) work of Canadian narrative cinema, frequently cropping up at the top of lists ranking the greatest Canadian features of all time. It was a film that invigorated both English and French-language narrative cinema. Perhaps even more importantly at the time, it introduced many Canadians to Toronto, which Shebib filmed as a burnished metropolis of skyscrapers, bright lights, and broken dreams.
