* Thunderbolt and Lightfoot

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

starring
Clint Eastwood Jeff Bridges
On the run from fellow gang-members, John
'Thunderbolt' Doherty narrowly escapes being shot when a handsome young drifter picks him up in a stolen car. Thunderbolt and Lightfoot strike up a deep friendship and join forces - with two others - to duplicate an earlier robbery. The haul is spectacularly successful until the gang fall out and violence erupts. This movie - from the director of The Deer
Hunter and Year of the Dragon is a fascinating portrait of a 'lost soul' saved by the intuitive innocence of the extrovert 'Lightfoot'.
Produced by ROBERT DALEY Written and directed by MICHAEL CIMINO
