Transporting illegal alcohol over dark two-lane mountain highways, Lucas Doolin (Robert Mitchum) races wildly through the night, crashing roadblocks and outrunning ambushes, defying anyone who tries to stop him. A man has a right to do anything, he says, including making whiskey, as long as he makes it on his own land.
When ruthless racketeers muscle in on Doolin’s territory and K*ll one of his men in the process the Kentucky bootlegger declares war, fiercely determined to maintain his hard-won business and independence… even if it costs him his life. Boasting breathtaking auto chase scenes and a superb performance from Robert Mitchum, Thunder Road is breathtaking excitement, the most exhilarating road thriller of them all. 1958, U.S., DCP, 92 minutes.
CINEMA+ with a pre-screening talk by Kaveh Zamanian, founder of Rabbit Hole and Chief Whiskey Officer of Pernod Ricard.
An initiative of the COOLIDGE CORNER THEATRE, with major support from the ALFRED P. SLOAN FOUNDATION.
