Editorial Review:
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

Rating:  - One of the best
"Le Mans" is, as so many reviewers before me have suggested, a true, tried, and tested classic.

Rating: - Before there were in-car cameras...
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
Rating: - Great car movie
As a Porsche owner I really enjoyed this movie. The racing scenes are amazing for the vintage of the film. Steve McQueen's acting is, well, Steve McQueen, but he drives like a pro.
