Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges (in an Oscar nominated performance) star as an off-beat pair of modern-day outlaws in this bold, action-packed crime thriller. Featuring outstanding supporting performances by George Kennedy (Airport), Gary Busey (Lethal Weapon) and Geoffrey Lewis (Maverick), it's a "crisp, well-written, witty, tough [and] superbly cast caper movie" (Cinebooks).
John "Thunderbolt" Doherty (Eastwood ) is a former thief whose razor-sharp wits and steely nerves made him a master of his profession, but he's about to reenter the criminal world with a new partner: Lightfoot (Bridges), a brash young drifter whose energy and exuberance give the veteran a new outlook on life. Their target: the seemingly impenetrable Montanta Armored Despository. After forming an uneasy alliance with Thunderbolt's former partners in crime (Kennedy and Lewis), they launch an amazing scheme that will test the limits of their endurance…and the power of their friendship.
Fueled by explosive action, fascinating characters and a powerfully moving climax, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot is an adventure of the highest caliber.
