THUNDER ROAD


Released May 10, 1958, this independently-produced (by star Robert Mitchum) "little" movie became a true classic, especially throughout the South. For many years, it was constantly playing all over North Carolina, especially at drive-in theatres, although it played the hardtops as well.

Salisbury / Rowan County had it's share of THUNDER ROAD bookings, THIRTY-ONE to be exact.
