Three nameless characters. An expert getaway driver (Ryan O'Neal) plays a dangerous game of cat and mouse with an arrogant detective (Bruce Dern) who will go to any lengths to catch him. And Isabelle Adjani, as a woman whose crucial witness could see the driver locked away, though she refrains for reasons known only to her, an enigma peering out from the shadow of her iconic broad-brimmed hat, the very soul of the movie’s affectless cool.

Enhanced by Philip H Lathrop's stunning cinematography and an unforgettable performance from Dern, Walter Hill's most obviously influential film is a neo-noir tour-de-force featuring some of the most stylish, thrilling car chase sequences ever shot, with cameras mounted on car bumpers and stunning high speed scenes through the rain-soaked L.A. streets.
