Moonshine Highway is a 1996 American thriller-drama made-for-TV-movie written, produced, and directed by Andy Armstrong. It stars Kyle MacLachlan, Randy Quaid, and Maria del Mar. It was broadcast in the United States by Showtime on 5 May 1996.
The film has been described as a recent example in a tradition of popular cultural depictions of moonshiners as "noble renegades" of the backwoods South (also found in 1958's Thunder Road ). [1]
Set in the 1950s, in backcountry Tennessee, the story focuses on Jed Muldoon (Kyle MacLachlan), a World War II veteran who smuggles illegal corn whiskey in his modified Lincoln.
Muldoon is having an affair with Ethel Miller (Maria del Mar), whose husband is the corrupt, local sheriff Wendell Miller (Randy Quaid). Sheriff Miller is under pressure from federal agent Bill Rickman (Alex Carter) to arrest the moonshiners.
Moonshine Highway was filmed in Ontario, Canada: in Markham; Mississauga; New Tecumseth; Pickering; Scarborough; Toronto; and Whitchurch-Stouffville.
