One of the all-time big box-office hits, Smokey and the Bandit stars Burt Reynolds and Jackie Gleason in an outrageous comedy that boasts full-throttle laughs and high-velocity thrills. Reynolds is the Bandit, a king-of-the-road trucker hero who accepts the ultimate challenge: pick up a truckload of Coors beer in Texarkana - the closest place it can be legally sold - and haul it cross-country to Atlanta in 48 hours. The reward? 80,000 dollars! The result? 'The wildest series of car chases and crashes ever filmed in this hilarious all time box office smash!' |
