Acting as a spotter for Snowman’s rig in his Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, Bandit eventually picks up runaway bride Carrie (Sally Field) and becomes the target of the groom’s father, Sheriff Buford T. To do so, Bandit recruits fellow trucker Cledus “Snowman” Snow to make the journey with him. Truck driver Bo “Bandit” Darville (Burt Reynolds) is offered $80,000 to bootleg four hundred cases of Coors beer from Texarkana to the Southern Classic truck rodeo in Georgia within 28 hours.
