A wide variety of eccentric competitors participate in a wild and illegal cross-country road race. However, the eccentric entrants will do anything to win the road race, including low-down, dirty tricks.

Hal Needham

The Cannonball Run

Wildly entertaining comedy

&quot;The Cannonball Run&quot; is a wild and crazy ride of a comedy about an illegal cross-country auto race. This movie was the third time star Burt Reynolds teamed up with director Hal Needham. Before &quot;Cannonball Run&quot; they made the first two &quot;Smokey and the Bandit&quot; pictures, and afterwards they made &quot;Stroker Ace&quot; and &quot;Cannonball Run II&quot;. &quot;The Cannonball Run&quot; and the original &quot;Smokey and the Bandit&quot; are my favorites. Made back when Reynolds was hitting box office gold, &quot;The Cannonball Run&quot; auto race begins in Connecticut and features the goofy all-star cast passing each other up until they get to their final destination, California. In addition to Burt Reynolds, the movie also stars Dom DeLuise as Reynolds partner, Roger Moore pretending to be himself, Farrah Fawcett as the woman Reynolds and DeLuise pick up at the beginning of the race, and two late great entertainers: Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. as two phony priests driving a red Ferrari. All are involved in the race, and its a wild ride all the way to the finish. Adrienne Barbeau, Jackie Chan, Jamie Farr, Mel Tillis, and former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw also star. Great fun.
