Steve McQueen: The Man and Le Mans
Synopsis
By 1970, Steve McQueen ruled Hollywood. Hot off the back of classics like ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’ and ‘Bullitt’ he could now make the movie that was his life’s passion: McQueen's experience on 'Le Mans' changed his life forever.
Interweaving stunning newly discovered footage and voice recordings with original interviews, this is the true story of how one of cinema's legends would risk almost everything in pursuit of his dream.
