Le Mans
Steve McQueen takes you for a drive in the country. The country is France. The drive is at 200 MPH!
Directed by Lee H. Katzin
Produced by Cinema Center Films, Solar Productions
A visually stunning, high-octane meditation on guilt and obsession set against the brutal spectacle of endurance racing, where speed and mechanical precision mask emotional turmoil.
Filmed during the annual 24-hour endurance race at Le Mans, Michael Delaney is a Porsche driver haunted by the memory of an accident at the previous year's race in which a competing driver was killed. Delaney also finds himself increasingly infatuated with the man's widow.
