In this comedy of the wild, untamed West, Paul Hogan stars as the wild, untamed Lightning Jack Kane. Lightning Jack is a legendary outlaw...in his own mind. He's quick on the draw and an eagle-eyed shot at a distance - it's only close up that he needs his reading glasses.
Jack finds sharper eyes than his in a young man called Ben Doyle who takes a liking to Jack's heroic style. Ben wants to be an outlaw too, but there's only one problem: Ben's mute, which makes walking into a bank and saying "stick 'em up" kind of impossible.
Nevertheless, against the odds, Lightning Jack and Ben Doyle are out to become famous outlaws, and together they pull off a series of hilarious heists, outwitting the sheriffs - and sometimes themselves - in a rip-roaring, sharp-shooting quest for fame. Also starring Beverly D'Angelo as Lana. LIGHTNING JACK is the comedy that's quick on the draw for laughs - the most-wanted movie you don't want to miss.
