The first time George Caldwell meets Grover T. Muldoon in Arthur Hiller's 1976 film "Silver Streak," George is in the process of stealing a police car. He's just been accused of a murder he did not commit, and now he is on the run. Panic-stricken, he drives nervously, unaware of the fact that he is not the only person in the squad car. "Dumb, stupid b******," he says to himself. As if on cue, a curious Grover pops up in the back seat, hands cuffed, and peers almost lovingly over George's shoulder. George, shocked by Grover's sudden appearance screams, "Who are you?!" before almost running off the road. "I'm a thief, man!" answers Grover. And so a friendship is born.
George and Grover, who are played by the always enchanting Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor respectively, quickly form an unbreakable bond as they attempt to outwit the police and a high-stakes criminal.
