The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia is a 1981 American musical drama film starring Kristy McNichol, Dennis Quaid, Mark Hamill and Don Stroud, directed by Ronald F. Maxwell. It was very loosely inspired by the 1972 Vicki Lawrence song of the same name (it shares almost no plot elements with the original song).
While they are staying in a small Georgia town, Travis gets on the wrong side of the tough local sheriff Seth Ames, and is put in jail. Amanda gets the bail money, and Travis is released, but on the condition that he works as a bartender in a local club to repay the debt.
