Product Description:
Almost in breadth and depth of a documentary, this movie depicts an auto race during the 70s on the world's hardest endurance course: Le Mans in France. The race goes over 24 hours on 14.5 kilometers of cordoned country road. Every few hours the two drivers per car alternate - but it's still a challenge for concentration and material. In the focus is the duel between the German Stahler in Ferrari 512LM and the American Delaney in Gulf Team Porsche 917. Delaney is under extraordinary pressure, because the year before he caused a severe accident, in which his friend Lisa's husband was killed.
Amazon.com essential video:
A classic auto-racing movie starring Steve McQueen, Le Mans puts the audience in the driver's seat for what is often called the most grueling race in the world. The French auto race Le Mans is a 24-hour affair through the French countryside, a demanding ordeal for any driver. McQueen (Bullitt, The Great Escape) plays the American driver, locked in an intense grudge match with his German counterpart even as he wrestles with the guilt over causing an accident that cost the life of a close friend. McQueen is his usual stoic magnetic self, and the racing sequences are among the best ever committed to film. A solid character-driven story combines with raw visceral power to make Le Mans a rich tapestry of action and thrills. --Robert Lane

"Le Mans" is, as so many reviewers before me have suggested, a true, tried, and tested classic.

Not many words are spoken and few plotlines are brought into play. Yet the film has more expression and more passion than the best and biggest of dramas. We get to explore the character and soul of the racing driver, get to ... Read More

What hasn't been said about Le Mans?? Short on story substance, long on action!!! If you've got a good surround system, let the glorious Porsche flat twelves and Ferrari v-twelves rip thru your speakers!!

Incredible footage of fantastic cars. Le Mans lives up to its reputation as the best racing movie ever.

I've been a sportscar racing fan since I was a child. And since my childhood was during the late 1960s and early 1970s, there really isn't any way to explain the impact the onboard footage had upon us back then.
I once raced sportscars as an amateur in the SCCA. There is no way on earth I can tell you what it actually feels like to go "out there", but at least in this film you can see what it looks like..
Yes, there's no love story...but don't ever say there's no plot. This ... Read More
