Transporting illegal alcohol over dark two-lane mountain highways, Lucas Doolin (Mitchum) races widly through the night, crashing road blocks 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." But when ruthless racketeers muscle in on Doolin's territory -- and kill 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" (The Film Daily) and a superb performance from Robert Mitchum, Thunder Road is breathtaking excitement -- the most exhilarating road thriller of them all.
