THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTFOOT (1974) [BLU-RAY]

Details

• Release Year: 1974
• Genre: Comedy; Crime; Drama
• Plot: Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974) marked the directing debut of screenwriter Michael Cimino (The Deer Hunter, Heaven's Gate), working under the meticulous guidance of star/producer Clint Eastwood. Eastwood plays a typically laconic loner, a big-time thief in hiding who hooks up with a goofy young drifer (Jeff Bridges, giving an Oscar-nominated performance). First attempting to escape from a couple of vengeful former partners (George Kennedy, Geoffrey Lewis), then joining forces with them to pull of a risky robbery, Eastwood and Bridges give us an ultimately touching portrait of masculine friendship. Superbly photographed in Montana's Big Sky country by Frank Stanley, and featuring a score by Eastwood regular Dee Barton.
