Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges in an Oscar nominated performance star as an off-beat pair of modern day outlaws in this bold, action-packed crime thriller. Featuring outstanding supporting performances by George Kennedy (Airport), Gary Busey (Lethal Weapon) and Geoffrey Lewis (Maverick), it's a crisp, well-written, witty, tough and superbly cast caper movie. John Thunderbolt Doherty (Eastwood) is a former thief whose razor-sharp wits and steely nerves made him a monster of his profession, but he's about to to enter the criminal world with a new partner. Lightfoot (Bridges), a brash young drifter whose energy and exuberance give the veteran a new outlook on life. Their target: the seemingly impenetrable Montana Armored Depository. After forming an uneasy alliance with Thunderbolt's former partners in crime (Kennedy and Lewis), they launch an amazing scheme that will test the limits of their endurance...and the power of their friendship. Fueled by explosive action, fascinating characters and a powerfully moving climax, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot is an adventure of the highest calibre.

Thunderbolt and Lightfoot review by Daryll Nesmejanow
Eastwood and Bridges at their best

A great mix of superb story and character development.
The film has the great way of starting in that you feel like you've come in half-way through a storyline (The Indiana Jones Trilogy employs a similar technique). It's a great way to immediatley capture your attention from the word go.
The characters relationships develop whilst the story unfolds. It's just great from beginning to end.
I don't think that there are writers like this in Hollywood anymore.
Superb.
