Joshua Tree, also released as Vanishing Red (バニシング・レッド?) and Army of One among other names, is a 1993 action film directed by Vic Armstrong, written by Steven Pressfield and starring Dolph Lundgren, Kristian Alfonso, and George Segal. Much of the film was filmed in Los Angeles, Lone Pine, Agua Dulce, and the desert of the Joshua Tree National Park of southeast California. The climax was shot in the Cottonwood Canyon region of the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
Wellman Anthony Santee (Dolph Lundgren) is a former race car driver who has turned to a life of crime since the death of his mother. Santee and his friend Eddie Turner (Ken Foree) bend the law for profit by hauling exotic stolen cars.
Santee's latest assignment is to transport suspicious goods across the desert, but a Highway Patrol officer pulls him over. Turner tries to reason with the cop but then a pair of cops named Frank Severance (George Segal) and Jack "Rudy" Rudisill (Beau Starr) show up. There is a gun battle in which Turner is killed, and Santee is wounded. Severance murders the highway patrolman, and pins it on Santee.
After recovering in a prison hospital, Santee escapes during transfer to the fictional San Gorgonio Penitentiary in order to escape another murder attempt on him by Severance and takes a hostage named Rita Marrick (Kristian Alfonso), not suspecting that she's a cop, while Rita keeps her identity a secret from Santee.
