A revamp of the 1980s classic. Released in 1981, “The Cannonball Run” chronicled an illegal cross-country race in which drivers of highly varying vehicles compete to make the trip from Connecticut to Redondo Beach, California in the shortest possible time. The hit comedy fictionalized the real-life Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash, a tongue-in-cheek protest of speed limit laws held five times during the 1970s.
