Steve McQueen: The Man and Le Mans

Gripping documentary that follows Steve McQueen in his quest to make 'the ultimate racing movie', 1971's Le Mans.

Gripping documentary that goes on a nerve-tingling ride with one of the greatest film stars of all time.

In 1970, Steve McQueen set out to make β€˜the ultimate racing movie’. It would be called Le Mans. He would lose his marriage, close friendships and control of his film, and risk lives in the process.
