The Last American Hero
Instead of a white stallion, he rode a full race, powder blue stocker.
Directed by Lamont Johnson
Produced by 20th Century Fox
A spirited, character-driven drama about a Southern rebel's redemptive turn from moonshine runner to NASCAR champion, grounded in regional authenticity and the pursuit of legitimate success.
A young hell raiser quits his moonshine business and tries to become the best NASCAR racer the south has ever seen. Loosely based on the true story of NASCAR driver Junior Johnson.
