    So, in Damnation Alley the vehicle is military-spec, and Tanner's not
    the only survivor. Still, it mounts a .50 caliber machine gun, carries
    supplies, and is fairly substantial.

    Also in the movie there were two of the vehicles.

    specified ONE vehicle so there being two in 'Damnation Alley' rules it
    out as the story the OP is trying to ID.
