'Thunderbolt And Lightfoot' (1974) - Coming to Blu-ray from Kino Lorber in a 2023 HD Master from a 4K scan of the 35mm original camera negative

Release date: October 8

"From Michael Cimino, the legendary director of The Deer Hunter, Heaven's Gate and Year of the Dragon comes this bold, witty and tough crime-thriller starring screen icons Clint Eastwood (A Fistful of Dollars) and Jeff Bridges (Blown Away) as a pair of modern-day outlaws

Thunderbolt (Eastwood) is a former thief whose razor-sharp wits and steely nerves made him a master of his profession, but he's about to re-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, Red Leary (George Kennedy, Ghost Ship) and Eddie Goody (Geoffrey Lewis, High Plains Drifter), 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 caliber and the directorial debut for Cimino, who also wrote the original screenplay

Wonderfully shot in Scope by Frank Stanley and featuring a wonderful supporting cast that includes Catherine Bach (The Midnight Man), Gary Busey (Lethal Weapon), Jack Dodson (The Getaway), Burton Gilliam (Gator), Roy Jenson (Framed), Bill McKinney (The Gauntlet), Vic Tayback (Bullitt), Dub Taylor (Junior Bonner) and Gregory Walcott (Prime Cut)."
