They may not be most popular genre in Hollywood, but they are interesting enough for people like Stephen King, Steven Spielberg, and many other famous writers/producers to want to get involved in creating stories centered on the big trucks.
So, what I have tried to do here is focus on films where the trucking industry or the trucker is what the movie is about.
Then I did add some honorable mentions and even included a short list of additional related films.
I am open for suggestions, please let me know if I left out one of your favorites!
I will start with my favorite movie:
Smokey and the Bandit (1977)
Race car driver “The Bandit” takes $80,000 bet to transport a load of beer in record time. That causes him to cross paths with the most determined law enforcement officer to ever pin on the badge Sheriff Buford T. Justice A.K.A “Smokey”.
The Bandit decides it’s a great idea to pick up a female hitchhiker that was up a runaway bride who also happens to be the future daughter-in-law of Sheriff Buford.
