"A swift, exciting, authentic documentation of the famous 24-hour race...Vivid and enjoyable." -Los Angeles Times
Forty-five international racing stars join Steve McQueen in this gritty, nerve-shattering recreation of the toughest car race on earth-Le Mans. Returning to France to compete a year after he's been injured, an American driver (McQueen) finds himself drawn to the widow of a racer who was killed in the same accident. Filmed on location in France, the film's spellbinding cinematography provides a dazzling look at the world's most extraordinary cars and the unique personalities of the people drawn to the race car circuit.
Steve McQueen, himself a championship racer, did most of his own driving on the harrowing 8.5-mile Le Mans course-often at speeds exceeding 200 miles per hour.
