'Smokey and the Bandit' is one of the all-time big box office hits. Burt Reynolds is the Bandit, a king-of-the-road trucker hero who has accepted a challenge to pick up a truckload of Coors beer in Texarkana, the closest place it can be legally sold, and bring it back to Atlanta in 28 hours.

The reward? $80,000. The result? The wildest series of car chases and crashes ever filmed because a Texas Smokey has become maniacally obsessed with apprehending the Bandit, who has joined forces with his son's runaway bride.
