“Chickie wants to support his friends fighting in Vietnam, so he does something wild — personally bring them American beer,” reads the synopsis. “What starts as a well-meaning journey quickly changes Chickie’s life and perspective.”
The Greatest Beer Run Ever is directed by Peter Farrelly from a screenplay he co-wrote with with Green Book co-scribes Brian Currie and Pete Jones, based on 2020 memoir by Joanna Molloy and John “Chick” Donohue. The film stars Zac Efron, Russell Crowe, Will Roppe, Archie Renaux, Kyle Allen, and Jake Picking.
The movie is based on the true tale of Donohue, who left New York in 1967 to track down and share a few beers with his childhood buddies in the Army … while they were fighting in Vietnam.
