1981 • United States • Directed by Hal Needham

Building on the smash-hit success of Smokey & the Bandit and Hooper, director Hal Needham once again teamed with iconic actor Burt Reynolds for an all-star stunt spectacular filled with cars, comedy and chaos in The Cannonball Run!

Inspired by the experiences of Needham and writer Brock Yates in a real-life transcontinental auto race, The Cannonball Run sees JJ McClure (Reynolds) and Victor Prinzim (Dom De Luise) as contestants in a free-for-all scramble to see who can drive across America from sea to shining sea in the shortest time possible. No rules, no regulations: fastest time wins. Disguising a Dodge van as an ambulance, complete with doctor (Jack Elam) and patient (Farah Fawcett) to ward off any suspicious state troopers trying to stop them from speeding, JJ and Victor head off on a mad-cap dash for the finish line against a star-studded cast of wacky racers!

With a cast that includes Roger Moore, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Adrienne Bardeau, Jackie Chan, and many more, The Cannonball Run is a frenetic anti-establishment action-comedy that puts pedal to the metal. Try to keep up!"
