Thunder Road
More Savage Than The Tommy-Gun Massacre of the Roaring Twenties...TODAY'S BILLION-DOLLAR WHISKEY WAR!
Directed by Arthur Ripley
Produced by D.R.M. Productions
A tense, kinetic crime thriller about a war veteran clinging to an outlaw lifestyle as law enforcement and organized crime close in, shot in stark black and white.
Unrepentant Tennessee moonshine runner Luke Doolin makes dangerous high-speed deliveries for his liquor-producing father, Vernon, but won't let his younger brother Robin join the family business. Under pressure from both out-of-town gangster Kogan, who wants a piece of the local action, and Treasury agent Barrett, who wants to destroy the moonshine business, Luke fights for his fast-fading way of life.
