The Hitcher is a 2007 horror thriller film starring Sean Bean, Sophia Bush, and Zachary Knighton. It is a remake of the 1986 film of the same name starring Rutger Hauer, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and C. Thomas Howell. The Hitcher was directed by Dave Meyers and produced by Michael Bay’s production company Platinum Dunes. This is the next feature film which Sean Bean collaborated with Michael Bay after Bay's 2005 film, The Island.

The film was released on January 19, 2007, in the USA and on June 1, 2007, in the UK.

Jim Halsey (Zachary Knighton) and Grace Andrews (Sophia Bush) are driving across New Mexico on their spring break holiday. At night, a hitchhicker (Sean Bean), dangerously stands on the road, near his broken down car. Jim nearly hits him and his car spins out of control. Grace insists that someone else will stop to help and they speed off.

At a gas station, Jim sees the hitchhiker climb out of a truck. The hitchhiker introduces himself as John Ryder and asks for a ride. Reluctantly Jim agrees. While on the road, the hitchhiker becomes violent and attacks them. The hitchhiker tells him the only way to save himself and Grace is to say, "I want to die." Jim hits the brakes, causing the hitchhiker to hit his head and kicks the hitchhiker repeatedly until Grace opens the passenger door and he is ejected.

The Hitcher has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
