Taken for a Ride begins with interviews on the inefficiencies and congestion on Los Angeles' highways. Next, the film displays a variety of archival footage on streetcar systems around the United States, demonstrating that streetcars were a widespread and efficient means of transportation. The film continues into a description of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy, starting with a history of National City Lines and Pacific City Lines and General Motors' investment in both companies. The film builds the argument that streetcar systems purchased by these companies were deliberately sabotaged through service reductions and fare increases, then replaced with profitable, less convenient, bus systems. Next, the film makes a connection between this conspiracy and the construction of the Interstate Highway System and the suburbanization of America in the face of the Highway revolts in the 1960s and 1970s. The film ends with footage of the reduction of Philadelphia's trolleybus system at the time of filming.

Aujourd'hui, la quantité d'énergie utilisée dans une grande ville telle que New York ou encore Los Angeles, provenant du pétrole, du nucléaire ou encore du charbon, paraît difficilement remplaçable par les énergies renouvelables. Pourrait-on réellement garder le même mode de vie, dans une société 100 pour 100 régie par les énergies renouvelables ? Dans un avenir proche, le choix ne sera sans doute plus possible.

In Europe, the Germans are close to surrender, but in the Pacific the bloody battle for Okinawa is still underway and an invasion of the Japanese home islands is not foreseen until the autumn. American battle casualties have almost reached 900,000, with Japanese casualties at 1.1 million, and some 8 million Asian civilians have died in the war that began with Japan's invasion of Manchuria in 1931.

Le documentaire expose les effets désastreux sur la santé et l'environnement causés par la production nucléaire de la compagnie General Electric. Il montre la contradiction entre le discours commercial de l'entreprise et les personnes dont les vies sont dévastées par les tests et la fabrication des missiles nucléaires. 27 familles d'employés ont souffert de cas de cancers, alors que General Electric était conscient des niveaux de radioactivité.
