Steve McQueen: Le Mans and The Man (2020x4)

Air date: Mar 18, 2020

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 ‘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. This is a story of obsession, betrayal and vindication, as a superstar risked everything in the pursuit of his dream.
