Two men from Pennsylvania give up hope in
their small run down coal mining town, and head off in
search of the beaches of California. The two steal cars as
they travel across the USA and are joined by a wild young
woman.
Centralia PA was the filming location for the
opening sequence of the 1986 film "Made In USA". The town's
destruction is captured brilliantly. Filmed during the mine fire's
peak, the town waits for the government demolition. This is
the real Centralia during it's demise. No special effects were
used. The movie starred Adrian Pasdar and Christopher Penn.
Below are scenes of Centralia during the 1987 filming of the
movie.
