Description : White Lightning will give you the jolt of your life! Burt Reynolds (Sam Whiskey) is Gator McKlusky, a moonshine runner who wages war against corrupt police officials in this two-fisted, four-wheeling action extravaganza. With adrenaline-pumping car chases, bone-crunching brawls and terrific acting by an all-star cast, including Ned Beatty, Diane Ladd, Bo Hopkins, Matt Clark and R.G. Armstrong. Gator is serving time in the Arkansas prison when he learns that a ruthless and corrupt sheriff (Beatty) has framed and killed his baby brother. Swearing vengeance, Gator agrees to go undercover to expose the dirty sheriff, going to any lengths to get the goods and make him pay for the crime. Top-notch direction by Joseph Sargent (Taking of Pelham One Two Three) with a wonderful script by William W. Norton (Gator).

Review : Lightning strikes true!

This film defines Reynolds as a "good ol' boy" that he successfully repeated in "Gator" and "Smokey and the Bandit." If you like Eastwood in spaghetti westerns, where all of the characters (including the hero) have a sinister side, and everyone sweats alot, then "White Lightning" will become a favorite. It is equal to "Thunder Road" as a classic moonshiner movie, and Ned Beatty's portrayal of a lawman with no regard for the law is brilliant.
