About Bullitt

His new assignment seems routine: protecting a star witness for an important trial. But before the night is out, the witness lies dying and cool, no-nonsense Detective Frank Bullitt (Steve McQueen) won't rest until the shooters and the kingpin pulling their strings are nailed. Also featuring a supporting cast that includes Robert Vaughn, Jacqueline Bisset, and Robert Duvall and a sublime score by the legendary Lalo Schifrin. [114 min; thriller, drama; English]

“Over 50 years after its release, Bullitt remains one of the best thrillers in cinematic history with much thanks to its historic chase sequence.” – Danielle Solzman, Solzy at the Movies

“Fast cars, a go-it-alone cop who doesn't trust the system, Steve McQueen, jazz, and 1968 San Francisco—it just doesn't get more quintessentially American than that.” – Andy Howell, Film Threat

“Bullitt takes a rather simple nugget of a story and turns it into a crime classic through the expert use of location footage, editing, music, mood and timing, not to mention the laconic, stoic performance of ultra-cool star Steve McQueen.” – Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
