Eastbound and Down - Smokey and the Bandit Returns to Big Screen for 45th Anniversary
Start your engines because the cult classic flick "Smokey and the Bandit" is headed back to theaters in celebration of its 45th anniversary this summer.

Fathom Events and Turner Classic Movies will present screenings of the iconic film, which stars Burt Reynolds, Jackie Gleason, Sally Field and Jerry Reed, at theaters across the nation on May 29 as well as June 1 and June 2. The event will feature exclusive behind-the-scenes looks.

Fathom Events provided the following description of the film:

"Smokey and the Bandit delivers outrageous laughs in one of the biggest box-office hits of all time. Bandit (Reynolds), a fun-loving, fast-talking trucker, takes on his craziest haul yet -- delivering 400 cases of beer from Texarkana to Atlanta in just 28 hours. With Sheriff Buford T. Justice (Gleason) hot on his trail and eager to teach him some respect for the law, the Bandit joins forces with good ol' boy, Cledus (Reed) and runaway bride Carrie (Field). Gear up for huge laughs, pedal-to-the-metal action, and some of the wildest car crashes ever filmed!"
