Burt Reynolds stars as the Bandit in this seminal portrayal of rough-ridin', beer-swillin', sheriff-dodgin', trouble-chasin' truckers. The Bandit's has taken on his craziest haul yet: a trailer full of Coors beer. If he can deliver the goods from Texarcana to Atlanta within forty-eight hours, he'll be eighty thousand dollars richer. Hilarious mayhem ensues, however, when the Bandit falls for a runaway bride (Sally Field). As they push toward Atlanta, the two have to evade Fields' vengeful father-in-law, Texas Sheriff Buford T. Justice (Jackie Gleason as the maniac Smokey of the title). The stakes get higher and the car chases more frenzied in this hysterical romp through the American highways. Charismatic performances by Reynolds and Gleason made this a huge box office draw. ITA winner. Academy Award Nominations: Best Film Editing.

Classic film full of laughter
The producer of Burt Reynolds' classic comedy movie Smokey And The Bandit has filed suit against Hollywood studio bosses, alleging he has been cheated out of the proceeds from the 1977 film. Mort Engelberg and members of his production company filed a lawsuit at Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday (04Mar11) against executives at Universal Pictures and Sony, the company which later acquired the Rastar production firm that made the movie. Engelberg claims the studio bosses are obliged to pay... Read more
