The Getaway, 1972, directed by American filmmaker Sam Peckinpah
Doc McCoy (Steve McQueen) is released from prison with the help of his wife, Carol (the gorgeous Ali MacGraw), on the condition that he knock off a bank for a cooked politician, Banyon (Ben Johnson). Things don't go according to plan and soon Doc and Carol are being persued by the cops, Banyon's thugs and their accomplice in the caper, Rudy (the creepy Al Lettieri). Shot in-sequence and on location in Texas, director Peckinpah's masterful knack for depicting action, suspense and violence and McQueen and MacGraw's chemistry make "The Getaway" an American cinematic classic in the spirit of Bonnie and Clyde.
