Eccentric competitors participate in an illegal cross-country road race. However, the entrants will do anything to win, including dirty tricks.

Building on the smash-hit success of Smokey & the Bandit and Hooper, director Hal Needham once again teamed with iconic actor Burt Reynolds for a pair of all-star stunt spectaculars filled with cars, comedy and chaos in The Cannonball Run and The Cannonball Run II! Inspired by the experiences of Needham and writer Brock Yates in a real-life transcontinental auto race, The Cannonball Run sees JJ McClure (Reynolds) and Victor Prinzim (Dom De Luise) as contestants in a free-for-all scramble to see who can drive across America from sea to shining sea in the shortest time possible. No rules, no regulations: fastest time wins. Disguising a Dodge van as an ambulance, complete with doctor (Jack Elam) and patient (Farrah Fawcett) to ward off state troopers trying to stop them from speeding, JJ and Victor head off on a mad-cap dash for the finish line against a star-studded cast of wacky racers! A smash hit on release, it was followed by a sequel in which the competitors returned to race again and see who could take the trophy. With casts that include Roger Moore, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Adrienne Barbeau, Jackie Chan, Shirley Maclaine, Frank Sinatra and many more, The Cannonball Run movies are frenetic anti-establishment action-comedies that put the pedal to the metal. Just try to keep up!
