The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning

Bo and Luke are arrested for reckless driving and blowing up illegal fireworks. They are paroled to their Uncle Jesse in neighboring Hazzard County to put in a summer of hard work on the family farm. The stakes are set as debt and foregone opportunities loom over the farm.

The clock ticks toward foreclosure with a two-week deadline. Boss Hogg aims to wipe out moonshine and bend the county to his will by offering big rewards for any lead that helps shut down the operation.

Daisy turns eighteen and joins the plan, stepping into the Boar's Nest scene with renewed confidence. She lands a job there and becomes an invaluable ally for the Dukes.

Cooter Davenport, a skilled mechanic, joins the crew to breathe life into a fast engine and a bold plan. The trio imagines a high-speed rescue that could turn the tide for the family farm.

They head to a junkyard in search of a car worthy of the Duke name and uncover a buried 1969 Dodge Charger—the General Lee. The find gives the plan a tangible, iconic centerpiece.

With elbow grease and a fresh engine, the brothers restore the General Lee. The car becomes a symbol of resilience and a tool that can challenge Boss Hogg's control.

Hogg enforces the dry county, aiming to wipe out moonshine and turn the Boar's Nest into an ice-cream parlor. He also posts a spectacular reward for anyone who reveals the illegal operation.

Daisy's growing presence at the Boar's Nest coincides with Hughie Hogg's attention, and a romance begins to complicate the Dukes' plan.

Daisy uses her wit to expose Hughie's role in the scheme and persuades Enos at the radio station to broadcast Hogg's confession.

Bo and Luke pilot the revived General Lee to the edge of Hazzard's ravine and demand answers from Boss Hogg, threatening to drive over if he doesn't come clean.

Daisy's cunning turns the confrontation into a public spectacle, ensuring Hogg's confession reaches the town and cannot be dismissed.

Bo and Luke perform the jump in the ravine, forcing Hogg to pay the $25,000 reward and begin reclaiming the farm.

The townspeople rally to demand the reversal of the dry county policy, and the Duke family regains control of the land.

Jesse and the moonshiners are released, and the Duke cousins reflect on newfound independence: Daisy asserts her agency, Bo earns a driving permit, and Luke looks for an adventure partner.
