When Swayze starts the truck, he turns a key and it starts. The key only switches on the electronics. Peterbuilts have a push button starter switch. [I've driven a lot of Peterbilts and the key DOES start the engine. Haven't seen a push button starter on the ones I've driven.]

To move the truck, you have to push both the truck and trailer brake release buttons. Swayze only pushes one of them, and causes the engine to shut down. But then he pulls away without pushing the other brake release button. [The red button (valve) is for the tractor, the yellow is for the trailer brakes. The yellow valve was already depressed, meaning he only had to push in the red button to be able to move. The trailer brakes were already released.]

When the motorcycle rider in the rebel flag jacket gets on the truck behind the sleeper he starts pulling off the air lines. Anytime a part of the braking system on a truck fails, spring loaded braking occurs, thus stopping the truck. Of course, Swayze somehow manages to continue on down the road... [You are correct about the spring beakes engaging if the brake system fails, but there are two scenarios that might make this possible. First, if only the service gladhand is removed, the supply line will still supply air to the trailer and not engage the brakes. Second, if the trailer was manufactured before 1976, the spring brakes do not operate the same way as newer systems. If the trailer is before the CVSS requirements, it is possible for the brakes not to engage if the brake pots have no air in them. A leaking air supply line, or brake chamber may allow the wheels to still turn in this instance. Finally, while illegal to operate a trailer this way, the trailer brakes may have been caged, which would leave the trailer with no brakes at all. And, the tractor has a seperate system, with a trailer protection valve, allowing it to move whether the gladhands are connected or not.]
