Continental Divide is a 1981 American romantic comedy, starring John Belushi and Blair Brown. It was directed by Michael Apted from an original screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan, and executive produced by Steven Spielberg and Bernie Brillstein. Brown was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance.
An attempt was made during the promotional phase of the film's release to sell Belushi and Brown as "the new Hepburn and Tracy", calling to mind the gutsy creative chemistry and double-act performances of those yesteryear actors. This impression was not successfully carried off and Belushi's death less than six months after the film's release ensured that potential would never be.
This was the first film from Spielberg's production company Amblin Entertainment.
A Chicago newspaper reporter, Ernie Souchak (Belushi), is investigating a corrupt city councilman. After doing an expose on some corrupt land dealings by the councilman, he is assaulted by two crooked police officers sent by the councilman and ends up in the hospital.
Born with an interest in marine biology, Meredith finds herself living in the middle of a desert, with few opportunities to exercise her passion. However, when a coastal program in Cape Cod accepts her best friend, while placing Meredith on the wait-list, she finds herself having to make the decision between the security of home versus risking her future on a leap of faith.

Top Gear USA S02E12 Continental Divide
In spite of all you haven’t done / you want it all
(Which one is us and one is you)
No tact, no form, no social norms / I take the fall
Breathe in, breathe deep - this web you weave / won’t catch us all
(Which one is you and one is me)
Time catches up, fills my cup / this tale’s too tall
I try to turn and let it go
We’re singing…
You did it all on your own
You did it all on your own
Just take the wheel / plug your ears / can do no wrong
(This time you can’t just walk away)
Turning blind eyes, the biggest lie / you cannot hide
Your dying hope – killing joke / won’t come along
(Never know to let it go)
Each time we try to let it show - You’ll never know
It’s time to reap the seed you sow
We’re singing…
You did it all on your own
You did it all on your own
You did it all on your own
