WHEN IT COMES TO COPS, FRANK BULLITT IS IN A CLASS OF HIS OWN.
Cool, stylish and effortlessly intense, Bullitt is defined by the growl of powerful engines, squealing tyres, an unforgettable soundtrack and Steve McQueen's commanding screen presence. Buckle up for the return of one of cinema's most influential action thrillers.
Lt. Frank Bullitt (Steve McQueen) is assigned to protect a crucial witness scheduled to testify before a Senate hearing investigating organized crime. When the witness is murdered before he can take the stand, ambitious federal prosecutor Walter Chalmers (Robert Vaughn) holds Bullitt responsible.
Determined to uncover what really happened, Bullitt begins tracking down the killers and the criminal mastermind behind the attack. But the investigation quickly becomes more complicated than expected. As hidden details emerge and the truth becomes increasingly difficult to separate from deception, Bullitt discovers that his own life is now in danger.
Directed with precision by Peter Yates, Bullitt became a landmark of the action-thriller genre and features one of the most celebrated car chases in movie history. Its stripped-down style, gritty realism and groundbreaking action would influence generations of filmmakers, including Walter Hill (The Driver), Michael Mann (Heat), Quentin Tarantino (Death Proof) and Christopher McQuarrie (Jack Reacher).
