A guaranteed original one sheet movie poster from 1977 for Hal Needham's police car chase comedy "Smokey and the Bandit", starring Burt Reynolds, Sally Field, Jerry Reed, Jackie Gleason and Mike Henry.

Offered $80,000 to smuggle 400 cases of Coors beer from Texarkana to Atlanta, can the Bandit and the Snowman evade the long arm of the law - especially with Sheriff Buford T. Justice in hot pursuit - to make the journey in 28 hours and claim their reward?

What a movie! Smokey and the Bandit made an astonishing $300M at the box office, but cost just $4.3M to make. Modern day film-makers would kill for a return like that!

This superb movie poster, with amazing art by John Solie, was originally issued folded, but has recently been linen-backed by our paper conservators and as you can see in our photos, it looks amazing! It will look fantastic framed and on display!

We only sell guaranteed original movie posters. We do not sell reproductions.

Note: This movie poster is priced unframed. Photos showing framed and 'in room' images are for illustration only. Please check our hi-res images and the sizing information shown above.

Original Poster Buying Guide

Authenticity & Original Posters

Art of the Movies specialises exclusively in authentic original cinema posters issued for theatrical release. These are not modern reproductions or decorative reprints.

Original posters were produced in limited numbers for cinemas to promote films during their initial release. As a result, surviving examples have become highly collectible artefacts of film history.

Each poster offered on this site is an authentic vintage piece created for cinema exhibition and carefully selected for collectors and film enthusiasts.

Condition & Age

Vintage cinema posters were working promotional materials used by theatres and distributors. As such, signs of age and handling are normal and form part of their character.

Condition is carefully assessed for each poster and reflected in the description. Where relevant, notes may include details such as light handling wear, fold lines from original cinema distribution, or minor edge wear.

Any significant restoration or conservation work will always be clearly stated.

Poster Formats & Dimensions

Original cinema posters were produced in a variety of standard formats depending on the country and era of release.

Common formats include UK Quad, US One Sheet and other theatrical display sizes. Exact dimensions for each poster are provided in the product details where relevant.

These historic formats are part of the distinctive character of original film advertising.

Framing Options

Many posters can be supplied professionally framed as an optional extra.

Framing is carried out using archival-quality materials designed to protect and display vintage paper safely. Frames are prepared to complement the artwork while maintaining a clean, gallery-style presentation.

Where framing is available, it can be selected before purchase.

Packaging & Delivery

Posters are carefully packaged to ensure safe delivery.

Unframed posters are typically shipped rolled safely packaged within our extra-thick custom-made tubes. Framed pieces are securely boxed using protective materials to minimise movement during transit.

Orders are dispatched with tracking where available.
