The Getaway (Deluxe Edition)

Master thief Doc McCoy knows his wife has been in bed with the local political boss in order to spring him from jail. What he can't know is the sinister succession of double-crosses that will sour the deal once he's on the outside - and executing the ultimate robbery. Fasten your seat belts and join Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw in a supreme action thriller based on Jim Thompson's novel. Sam Peckinpah directed, filming on locations across Texas and in sequence - from the opening inside Hunstville State Prison to the explosive El Paso border climax. Once The Getaway starts, there's no escaping its breathless intensity.

User Reviews

One of the Best
rating: 5

A high charged Sam Peckinpah action film with Steve McQueen as Doc McCoy and Ali MacGraw as his wife. Sprung from prison to work a heist for millionaire oilman Ben Johnson, a crooked henchman sends the whole thing into a free fall with McQueen and MacGraw trying to stay one step ahead of the bad guys. Also starring Slim Pickens. Steve McQueen shows just how damage one man can achieve with a pump-action .12-gauge. Forget the rancid Alec Baldwin retread. This is the one.

Mcqueen fan
rating: 5

As far as I'm concerned Steve McQueen can't do anything wrong. Love this film. What chemistry between Steve and Ali! The remake pales in comparison. See the original.

The Getaway
rating: 5

An action packed thriller with Steve McQueen and Ali McGraw leading a good cast directed by Sam Peckinpah that keeps you on the edge of your seats. One of Steve McQueen's best performances keeping you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. A must for every adventure collector.

Great movie. Great transfer
rating: 5

This review is for the Blu-Ray version of this film. I really like this film and the transfer is the best I have seen. I had the Beta and Laser disc versions and this one looks wonderful.
