Smokey And The Bandit

Big Enos Burdette and his son Little Enos seek a truck driver willing to bootleg Coors beer to Georgia for their refreshment. At the time, Coors was regarded as one of the finest beers in the U.S. but it could not be legally sold east of the Mississippi River. The Burdettes find legendary trucker Bo "Bandit" Darville competing in a truck rodeo at Lakewood Fairgrounds in Atlanta. They offer him $80,000 to haul 400 cases of beer from Texarkana, Texas back to Atlanta in 28 hours. Bandit accepts the bet and recruits
