Thunderbolt and Lightfoot
Michael Cimino, USA, 1974o
Thunderbolt is a former thief who's about to re-enter the criminal world with a new partner: Lightfoot, a brash young drifter whose energy and exuberance give the veteran a new outlook on life. Their target: the seemingly impenetrable Montana Armored Depository. After forming an uneasy alliance with Thunderbolt’s former partners in crime, Red Leary and Eddie Goody, they launch an amazing scheme that will test the limits of their endurance, and the power of their friendship.
Debuting director Michael Cimino obtains superior performances from Clint Eastwood, George Kennedy, Geoffrey Lewis and especially Jeff Bridges.
