However, Lucas has more problems than evading government "revenuers". </p><p>Both a hothead and a fatalist, he is concerned that his teen-aged younger brother Robin (James Mitchum), who is also his mechanic, will be tempted into following in his footsteps. An aggressive urban gangster, Carl Kogan (Jacques Aubuchon), is trying to gain control of the independent local moonshine producers and their distribution points. Dead shiners strewn along Thunder Road prove he is willing to kill anyone who stands in his way. Determined Treasury agent Troy Barrett (<a href="/wiki/Gene_Barry" title="Gene Barry">Gene Barry</a>) is drawn in to stop the bloodshed, and its cause. </p><p>Barrett's attempt to engage Lucas are thrown right back in his face. The stakes rise when an attempt by Kogan to kill Lucas results in the deaths of another moonshine driver, Jed Moultrie (<a href="/wiki/Mitchell_Ryan" title="Mitchell Ryan">Mitchell Ryan</a>), and Treasury Agent Mike Williams (<a href="/wiki/Dale_Van_Sickel" title="Dale Van Sickel">Dale Van Sickel</a>) mistaken for him and one of Barrett's men. </p><p>Still, Lucas does not back off, a stubbornness and strike-first hostility attributed by townsfolk to a "machine-gunner's mentality" they feel he brought home from the Korean War, which pervades his every doing. Only with <a href="/wiki/Nightclub_singer" class="mw-redirect" title="Nightclub singer">nightclub singer</a> Francie Wymore (Keely Smith) can he drop his guard, as far as he is able. At the same time, he steadfastly resists the attentions of the belle of the mountain girls, innocent Roxanna Ledbetter (Sandra Knight), who has a crush on him and fears for his life. </p><p>When a series of government raids destroy local moonshiners' hidden stills, Lucas's father and the others shut down production "for a spell" to let the government deal with Kogan in its own time. In spite of this, Lucas is forced by circumstances and his own code of honor to make one final run of his dad's shine. </p><p>Kogan's men successfully trick Robin into agreeing to drive for them, infuriating Lucas, who sends Robin home on the bus. Barrett tries to enlist Robin's help in convincing Lucas it's Kogan his Bureau is after, not his brother, but is rebuffed. In the exchange Barrett reveals Lucas never left the States in the Army and implies he may have spent his hitch in its stockade instead, explaining his pent-up anger and seeming death wish. </p><p>After Lucas meets with Francie and forebodingly gives her a large sum of money to hold for him, he calls Kogan to let him know he is coming to kill him for trying to set up his brother. Meanwhile, Roxanna spills all she knows about Lucas's intended final moonshine run – for now, anyway, till things sort out – to agent Barrett's wife when she can't contact Barrett directly. He deploys a sweeping dragnet of Bureau men and state police in an attempt to intercept Lucas before he gets caught, or killed, in Kogan's trap. </p><p>Kogan sends his top henchman after Lucas just before Barrett and his officers arrive and arrest Kogan for murder. Lucas turns the tables on Kogan's driver and runs him off the road. Kogan's men then set spike strips to blow out Lucas's tires, which send his car careening down an embankment into an arcing electrical transformer. Barrett arrives too late to help with anything. </p><p>As a snake of headlights winds up the lonely mountain road back home, Robin and Roxanna stand alone in silence. The same cortege of mourners bring their own back home as when a local boy was taken out by Kogan's men early in the conflict. As the glows draw closer Robin and Roxanne approach one another slowly. Without a word they clasp hands and walk away together into the dark. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Thunder_Road_(1958_film)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Robert_Mitchum" title="Robert Mitchum">Robert Mitchum</a> as Lucas Doolin</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Gene_Barry" title="Gene Barry">Gene Barry</a> as Troy Barrett</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Jacques_Aubuchon" title="Jacques Aubuchon">Jacques Aubuchon</a> as Carl Kogan</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Keely_Smith" title="Keely Smith">Keely Smith</a> as Francie Wymore</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Trevor_Bardette" title="Trevor Bardette">Trevor Bardette</a> as Vernon Doolin</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Sandra_Knight_(actress)" class="mw-redirect" title="Sandra Knight (actress)">Sandra Knight</a> as Roxanna Ledbetter</li> <li><a href="/wiki/James_Mitchum" title="James Mitchum">James Mitchum</a> as Robin Doolin</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Peter_Breck" title="Peter Breck">Peter Breck</a> as Stacey Gouge, a rival driver</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Mitchell_Ryan" title="Mitchell Ryan">Mitchell Ryan</a> as Jed Moultrie, a decoy driver</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Dale_Van_Sickel" title="Dale Van Sickel">Dale Van Sickel</a> as Mike Williams (uncredited)</li> <li>Nicholas Mann Konrad as Robert Mitchum's stunt driver</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Thunder_Road_(1958_film)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The film was a production of Mitchum's own company, DRM, but no producer was credited.<sup id="cite_ref-varrev_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-varrev-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The film was based loosely on an incident in which a driver transporting moonshine was said to have crashed to his death on <a href="/wiki/Kingston_Pike" title="Kingston Pike">Kingston Pike</a> in <a href="/wiki/Knoxville,_Tennessee" title="Knoxville, Tennessee">Knoxville, Tennessee</a>, between Bearden Hill and Morrell Road.
