Smokey and the Bandit was a 1977 movie starring Burt Reynolds, Sally Field, Jackie Gleason, Jerry Reed, Paul Williams, and Mike Henry . It would inspire several other trucking films including two sequels, Smokey and the Bandit II, and Smokey and the Bandit Part 3.
Most of the movie centers around Cledus "Snowman" Snow (Reed) and Bo "Bandit" Darville (Reynolds) taking a shipment of Coors beer from Texarkana, Texas to Atlanta, Georgia (At the time Coors wasn't available in the eastern US, it was illegal to ship it east of Texas). They were promised $80,000 if they could make the run in 28 hours. Along the way, Bandit picks up Carrie "Frog" (Field), and finds himself being pursued by Sheriff Buford T. Justice (Gleason). Carrie had run away from her wedding to Justice's son, Junior (Henry).
