A classic auto-racing movie starring Steve McQueen, <I>Le Mans</I> puts the audience in the driver's seat for what is often called the most grueling race in the world. The French auto race Le Mans is a 24-hour affair through the French countryside, a demanding ordeal for any driver. McQueen (<I>Bullitt</I>, <I>The Great Escape</I>) plays the American driver, locked in an intense grudge match with his German counterpart even as he wrestles with the guilt over causing an accident that cost the life of a close friend. McQueen is his usual stoic magnetic self, and the racing sequences are among the best ever committed to film. A solid character-driven story combines with raw visceral power to make <I>Le Mans</I> a rich tapestry of action and thrills. <I>--Robert Lane</I>
Viewer Reviews Le Mans was made when there was no such thing as Computer animation or CGI. Real Racing, Real Stunts, Real Speed. See it for some of the best racing footage ever filmed for a movie. -California Kid
