John McKenna and Gabriel Clarke direct this documentary film about Steve McQueen’s 1971 film ‘Le Mans’. Although the film was a commercial failure and plagued by financial problems and accidents throughout its production, it was the realisation of McQueen’s ambition of making a film about his lifelong passion.
Steve McQueen: The Man & Le Mans documents McQueen’s obsession to make ‘the ultimate racing movie’ through present day interviews with his family, including his son Chad McQueen and ex-wife Neile Adams McQueen and key members of the production team, along with a wealth of previously undiscovered, unseen ‘behind the scenes’ footage filmed on set in 1970. Evoking a special era and bringing this fascinating story to life for the first time, Steve McQueen: The Man & Le Mans redefines the myth and magic of Steve McQueen the movie star and sheds new light on Steve McQueen the visionary filmmaker.
