All the while, Bandit narrowly evades capture by getting help from his trucker friends by communicating through CB radio.

Smokey (Jackie Gleason) chases Bandit out of his own jurisdiction and in and out of many others across several states. Along the way, Bandit picks up a stray gal (Sally Fields) and a "Smokey" tail - aptly named Justice. Bandit requests an advance from the Texan to purchase a Trans-Am, which is to be used to divert attention away from the truck that will be driven by Bandit's close friend. Bandit (Burt Reynolds) is a legendary truck driver who accepts a challenge from a rich Texan to drive 400 cases of illegal Coors beer from Texas to Georgia for $80K in under 28 hours. As the second-highest grossing film of 1977, Smokey and the Bandit captured the eyes of the nation and beyond.
