Gator McKlusky (Burt Reynolds) has been convicted of running moonshine whiskey. He is offered a chance of release–if he will serve as an informer and help catch his one-time cohorts. Gator accepts, but only to get out of jail. He has another motive…he believes that the crooked sheriff (Ned Beatty) murdered his younger brother, a civil rights activist. With the help of a fellow ‘informant’ (Matt Clark) and a daredevil driver (Bo Hopkins), a few fights and some astonishing stunt-driving chases, Gator will eventually prove his case against the sheriff. A bonus: Gator will also acquire the daredevil driver’s beautiful girlfriend (Jennifer Billingsley). With Louise Latham, Diane Ladd and a young Laura Dern (Diane Ladd’s real-life daughter) in her film debut. Joseph Sargent directed with his usual skill and zest.

  1. This is still Burt Reynolds best movie ever. The seventies as i remember them. I was as old as one of the kids you see in it at the time, and must have watched this movie a hundred times, i loved it so much! The hippies the southerners hated so much in this movie are now the left wing liberal Democrats burning our cities, selling us out to China, lying to us in the liberal propaganda fake news and murdering police officers and burning Federal court houses down. The sheriff was right after all.

  2. One of my all time favorite movies. They used a lot of local people in that one, as actors and extras. Me and my family are somewhere in the background during the stock car race- crowd shot, you can't see us. That was when we lived in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. We got free tickets to the premier. First timeI ever got to go to one of those. I must have 6 years old at the time.

  3. Burt Reynolds and sean Connery were men's men. Sadly, these types of men are illegal now……you're not allowed to have confidence or balls anymore. They call it toxic masculinity. This country is in a sad state

  4. Simply said, the law is off the hook. The power that they afforded is entirely tooo[ much. Fkn pig fks NEED to be checked! I heard a while back that (in that part of out great USA) That thenfk heads of pigs who over stepping their boundaries are being shot dead. Its the only way to correct THEIR corruption. Due to the GD unions. I realize that we are a nation if Laws. But when the "We the people " entrust out commissioners to set guidelines for those who are to govern the people/ and then they become lawless> we have HUGE HUGE PROBLEMS?
    I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO REMORSE FOR THAT FK PIG WHI GOT DEAD/KILLED..
    as i do now. When a Bad oug dies, im great with enthusiasm! Fk the oug who kills with impunity. Yet cries when hes violated like a bitch!

  5. Someone said they missed the 70s but left out some of the worst from that era. Everything was slow as shit. Things moved very slow. Serial Killers ruled the 70s, phone calls were expensive, gas was expensive, cars were gas guzzlers and America was being polluted until our government saw the need for a cleaner America. Medicine was not that great and technology was like the Stone Ages back in the 70s.
    Gas was leaded as well as house paint. Asbestos was everywhere, it was used to fill potholes and brake pads were made from asbestos. Asbestos was in your house. Children never wore seatbelts in the back seat. No Megan's Law so sexual predators were always lurking and some of them actually forced themselves on minors. Fat people were everywhere. They never exercised at all. Racism was still acceptable so you tell me what was so great about the 70s. You better have a great answer or else you will hear it from me.
