Thunder Road is a black-and-white 1958 drama-crime film directed by Arthur Ripley starring Robert Mitchum, who plays Korean War veteran Lucas Doolin. Doolon works in the family moonshine business, delivering the illegal liquor his father distills to clandestine distribution points throughout the South in his souped-up hot rod. However, Lucas has more problems than evading the US Treasury agents led by determined newcomer Troy Barrett.
What links the Hollywood classic and the Fatima of the Teatre Lliure? What is the link between the scenes of the south of the United States and the familiar streets of the Raval in Barcelona? Jordi Prat i Coll, director of the play, speaks about how Arthur Ripley's film determined the writing of the play.
