The plot of "Cars" had been inspired by a press report Weir had read about two young English women who had vanished while on a driving holiday in France, and this film, along with the earlier "Homesdale", set the basic thematic pattern which has persisted throughout Weir's subsequent career – virtually all of his feature films deal with people who face some form of crisis after finding themselves isolated from society in some way – either physically ("Witness", "Mosquito Coast", "The Truman Show", "Master and Commander"), socially/culturally ("Picnic at Hanging Rock", "The Last Wave", "Dead Poets Society", "Green Card") or psychologically ("Fearless").
