Sobre aquesta pel·lícula

Gator McKlusky (Burt Reynolds) has been convicted of running moonshine whiskey. He is offered a chance of release--if he will serve as an informer and help catch his one-time cohorts. Gator accepts, but only to get out of jail. He has another motive...he believes that the crooked sheriff (Ned Beatty) murdered his younger brother, a civil rights activist. With the help of a fellow 'informant' (Matt Clark) and a daredevil driver (Bo Hopkins), a few fights and some astonishing stunt-driving chases, Gator will eventually prove his case against the sheriff. A bonus: Gator will also acquire the daredevil driver's beautiful girlfriend (Jennifer Billingsley). With Louise Latham, Diane Ladd and a young Laura Dern (Diane Ladd's real-life daughter) in her film debut. Joseph Sargent directed with his usual skill and zest.

At the time of its original theater run, the TV ads said, "Until you see Burt Reynolds in 'White Lightning,' you haven't seen Burt Reynolds.' That is still true today. Hey, kids, see it! It's well worth your time!

Burt Reynolds at his best in this story of corruption and the unrelentless revenge of a brother (Reynolds) to avenge his little brother's murder.
