Gator
Come and get him.
Directed by Burt Reynolds
Produced by United Artists, Levy-Gardner-Laven
A swamp-set crime caper where a reformed ex-con must go undercover to protect his daughter, blending action, local color, and redemptive stakes.
After his release from prison, notorious ex-con and moonshine distiller Gator McKlusky moves in with his father in a cabin in the Okefenokee Swamp. His bootlegging plans are cut short, however, when a federal agent tells McKlusky that he will lose custody of his 9-year-old daughter unless he helps bring down local crime lord Bama McCall. McKlusky enlists the help of reporter Aggie Maybank and a few local eccentrics to bring down McCall's empire.
