Bandit Pins and Buttons
Description: The film follows Bo "The Bandit" Darville (Reynolds) and Cledus "Snowman" Snow (Reed), two truck-driving bootleggers attempting to illegally transport 400 cases of Coors beer from Texarkana to Atlanta. While the Snowman drives the truck carrying the beer, the Bandit drives blocker, in a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am, to distract law enforcement and keep the attention off the Snowman. During their run, they are pursued by Sheriff Buford T. Justice (Gleason), of Montague County, Texas, as indicated by the decal on the Sheriff's patrol car.
Description: Bo "Bandit" Darville is the owner/operator of Bandit Trucking out of Atlanta Georgia. He's been known to operate outside of DOT regulations with cooked logbooks and unpermitted loads, so if say you need a load of Coors beer delivered east of the Mississippi River on the sly, the Bandit is just the guy to do it for you. Keep the shiny side up the rubber parts down. We gone.
