Macon County Line

It Shouldn't Have Happened.
It Couldn't Have Happened.
But It Did.

Louisiana, 1954: Brothers Chris & Wayne Dixon (Alan Vint And Jesse Vint) are joyriding through the South before enlisting in the Army. When the wife of a local Sheriff (Max Baer) is brutally killed by a pair of psychotic drifters, Chris and Wayne are mistaken for the murderers. Far from home, on the run and out of time, they find themselves hunted by the crazed lawman in a tragedy of rage and revenge that explodes in a shocking climax...once they cross MACON COUNTY LINE.


Best known as "Jethro " from "The Beverly Hillbilles," Max Baer Jr. forever changed his image by producing, co-writing and co-starring in this powerful movie. With a strong supporting cast that includes Joan Blackman, Geoffrey Lewis, Cheryl Waters, James Gammon, Doodies Weaver and Leif Garret, MACON COUNTY LINE became the sleeper hit of 1974 as well as one of the most critically acclaimed drive-in classics of all time.
