Synopsis The Cannonball Run brings Burt Reynolds, Roger Moore, Farrah Fawcett, Dom DeLuise, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr. and an all-star cast to the starting line of the ultimate auto race, a madcap cross-country scramble that roars full-speed ahead. Hal Needham, the director of such souped-up hits as "Smokey and the Bandit," "Hooper" and "Smokey and the Bandit II" is at the helm of a wild action-comedy inspired by an actual event: The Cannonball Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash, an anything-goes, all-stops-out - and thrillingly illegal - competition that has grown to legendary proportions in the last ten years.

Empire Review A real guilty pleasure - 3.25 out of 5  (6/4/2001) CANNONBALL RUN is one of those films that mystify the critics. Try as I might, I was unable to find one decent review of the film. In fact it never got any higher than the lowest grade on any critic meter. Roger Ebert called the movie an "embarrassment" and another unnamed critic called the film "a horrible blight on the age of cinema society."
