In one of his most memorable roles, Steve McQueen stars as Detective Frank Bullitt, a hard-driving, tough-as-nails San Francisco cop. Bullitt has just received what sounds like a routine assignment: keep a star witness out of sight and out of danger for 48 hours, then deliver him to the courtroom on Monday morning. But before the night is out, the witness will lie dying of shotgun wounds, and Bullitt, a no-glitter, all-guts cop, won't rest until he nabs the gunmen and the elusive underworld kingpin who hired them. From opening shot to closing shootout, Peter Yates's edge-of-the seat thriller is packed with authentic touches, from on-location San Francisco filming and believably crisp dialogue to uncompromisingly detailed police, hospital, and morgue procedures. The most memorable scene is BULLITT's celebrated car chase. McQueen, an expert automobile and motorcycle racer, does his own stunt driving as he propels his high-performance Mustang GT around and over San Francisco's fabled hills at speeds up to 115 miles an hour. The film is based on Robert L. Pike's book, MUTE WITNESS.

Steve McQueen in a Highland Green Ford Mustang

The famous car scene has to be seen. A special Ford Mustang, The Bullit was realesed to celebrate the fact it was used during the film. The film is full of class and style and well worth viewing during midweek or a dreary Friday evening at home.

Bullitt

A classic '60s cop film that set the tone for a number of films that followed. McQueen plays the title character and exudes his usual coolness. Be warned though, don't expect a lot of explosions and gunplay, this is more of a cerebral thriller, barring of course the famous car chase.
