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 with Jake Vollmer, Master Whiskey Taster for North American Distillers Limited, a division of Pernod-Ricard, and head blender and innovation lead for Rabbit Hole Distillery.
An initiative of the COOLIDGE CORNER THEATRE, with major support from the ALFRED P. SLOAN FOUNDATION.
