	''Moonrunners'' is a 1975 B-movie starring [[James Mitchum]] and [[Kiel Martin]] based on the life of moonshine runner [[Jerry Rushing]], who also had a brief role in the film. ''Moonrunners'' was the precursor to ''[[The Dukes of Hazzard (TV series)\|The Dukes of Hazzard]]'', featuring two cousins in the South who run moonshine for their Uncle Jesse despite a corrupt opposition in cahoots with Sheriff Rosco Coltrane. The film, like the show, also featured a plethora of car chases (and crashes) and the narration and music of outlaw country star Waylon Jennings. Most of the weaponry in the film is shotguns, with the exception of the cousins' bows.

	''Moonrunners'' was also considered to be an unofficial follow-up to the 1958 film ''[[Thunder Road]]'', also starring James Mitchum and his father [[Robert Mitchum]] about moonshine drivers in the face of a larger syndicate and revenue agents. Compared to ''The Dukes of Hazzard'' and ''Thunder Road'', ''Moonrunners'' was the most raw, featuring the most profanity and references to the cousins stepping outside the law to achieve their means. Filmed completely on location in Georgia and with the direct input of former "moonrunner" Jerry Rushing, it is considered to be a relatively accurate portrayal of moonshine running in the 1970s.
