That's from Googling, so I have no idea if that's even close.

That has to be it^^^. Funny thing is when I read the posted question I was thinking Twilight Zone.

For some reason, the intro to a movie popped into my head from my childhood, and it's killing me that I don't remember the movie.  Help me figure it out!

Here's what I know:

- I owned it on VHS, so probably 1990 or earlier.
- Intro scene starts in the middle of nowhere, sun shining bright and hot
- Camera is low on the ground, and you can the ripples of heat off the road/dirt (don't remember if there was a road).
- A man rises out of the heat ripples as he walks closer to the camera from a long ways off, getting taller.

I don't remember anything else past that point, and I may have mis-remembered;  I haven't seen this in over 20 years.

The first movie that came to mind was Phoenix with Ray Liotta, but that came out in 1998. During the opening credits there's a scene of a blazing sun and then it opens with the camera low on the ground but it's the four of the guys looking at something. Check it out.

That's it! I remember Mark Harmon now that I see him.

Thanks a lot!  :tup
