Cannonball
The annual Trans-American outlaw road race - A cross country demolition derby without rules!
Directed by Paul Bartel
Produced by New World Pictures, Cross Country
A high-octane, rule-breaking road comedy built on vehicular mayhem, competitive spirit, and the anarchic thrill of an outlaw cross-country race.
Coy "Cannonball" Buckman and his blazing red Pontiac enter the Trans-America Grand Prix, an underground road race spanning the continent in which there are no rules, no speed limits and no heed for the law. En route, Buckman jockeys with an international ensemble of racers for a $100,000 purse. But there are none more important than Cade Redman, his direct competition for a guaranteed spot on the elite Modern Motors racing team.
