Thunderbolt and Lightfoot is a 1974 American crime comedy film written and directed by Michael Cimino and starring Clint Eastwood, Jeff Bridges, George Kennedy and Geoffrey Lewis.[6]
In the film, a car thief prevents the assassination of a preacher, and partners with him in a series of thefts. He soon learns that his partner is a fugitive bank robber who is hunted by his former gang. The robber convinces both his new and his former partners to work with him on a new heist. Two of the robbers are killed shortly after the heist, and the car thief is mortally wounded. The mastermind of the heist is the only survivor, and drives away with his partner's corpse.
