The Last Stop in Yuma County is a tense neo-noir crime thriller set almost entirely inside a remote Arizona diner, where a routine fuel stop turns into a deadly standoff. Directed by Francis Galluppi, the film follows a group of strangers whose moral choices and hidden intentions collide as violence quietly simmers beneath the surface. Drawing on classic crime cinema traditions, the film blends minimalism, suspense, and dark irony in a tightly controlled single-location narrative.

NEVER BRING A KNIFE SALESMAN TO A GUNFIGHT

Blending elements of the western and neo-noir, The Last Stop in Yuma County is a loving and expertly crafted homage to the spirit of 1970s American crime thrillers with a modern twist, winning the prize for Best Film at the Sitges International Film Festival.

A travelling knife salesman impatiently awaits the arrival of a fuel truck in an isolated roadside diner in rural Arizona. His attempt to wile away the hours with a crossword puzzle and a cup of coffee is interrupted by the arrival of Travis and Beau, two bank robbers fleeing from a heist. Realising they've been recognised, the thieves intimidate the diner's staff and clientele into silence just as more oblivious patrons begin to trickle in. As the tension mounts and pressure spirals, the salesman is caught between protecting the safety of the other customers and his own survival, and will make a decision that will change his life forever.

Featuring gripping performances by a cast loaded with genre favourites, including Jim Cummings (The Beta Test), Richard Brake (Barbarian), Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator), Jocelin Donahue (The House of the Devil) and Alex Essoe (Starry Eyes), The Last Stop in Yuma County is a thrilling exploration of the difficult choices and fragile alliances that arise in desperate situations.
