The Cannonball Run (1981) on Netflix

This comedy movie brings Burt Reynolds, Sir Roger Moore, Farrah Fawcett, Dom DeLuise, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr. and an all-star cast to the starting line of the ultimate auto race, a madcap cross-country scramble that roars full-speed ahead. This action-comedy was inspired by an actual event: the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash, an anything goes, all-stops-out, and very much illegal, competition that has grown to legendary proportions within the last ten years. —Murray Chapman racercompetitionon the roadroad tripcar racing127 morePlot summaryPlot synopsisTaglinesYou'll root for them all...but you'll never guess who wins.GenresActionComedySportCertificatePGParents guide
