As played by the legendary Burt Reynolds, the Bandit really sets the bar high for any cinematic smugglers who want to step to him. Hired by a pair of Texas businessmen to get a semi-truck full of Coors beer to Georgia (where it wasn't sold in 1977), he shows off all of the tricks of the trade. Driving a lightning-fast Pontiac Trans Am, the Bandit leaves the actual cargo hauling to his buddy Cledus "Snowman" Snow, instead doing the really hard work of drawing the law's attention away from the sudsy goods. Easily one of the best smugglers of all time.
