(Arthur Ripley, US 1958, 92 min.)
In the drive-in classic and mother of all moonshine-runner movies, Robert Mitchum wrote the story, sings the title song, and stars as the best transporter of illegal liquor in the South. When a US Treasury agent tries to stop him, and a big city mobster tries to rub him out and take over the business, Mitchum decides to do one last run. Thunder Road will be preceded by a slam-bang selection of trailers from movies where the vehicles are the real stars: Corvette Summer, The Hearse, Christine, Mother, Jugs & Speed, Fast Company, and many, many more.
