[edit] Synopsis

Three men that were working on a chain gang back in 1967 tried to escape, but failed, and their guard sheriff made them dig a hole in the road, where when finished the sheriff shot the men dead in the hole. The sheriff then proceeded to lay ashphalt over them and steamrolled them into the road.

The film then fasts forward to the present, where Lou and Lori are US marshals looking for a witness (Steve) who has escaped from the federal witness protection program, and eventually bring him back to California for testifying. They are traveling along a road when it becomes a dead end with a roadblock. The only person who knows where the road leads is Steve, because of his familiarity with the area, while trying to evade Federal agents for some time. The road is closed because of the "accident" that happened back in 1967, but they proceed to break down the roadblock and travel on Route 666. Needless to say, trouble ensues once they realize there are zombies (the chain gang zombies) trying to kill them.
