Some men will do anything to get out of prison. And some, like master thief "Doc" Mccoy, have their wives do it. So when his cell door swings open, Doc knows his beautiful wife has been in bed with the local political boss. 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 to join Steve Mcqueen and Ali MacGraw in "The Getaway", a hell-for-leather heist yarn directed with hair-trigger intensity by the legendary Sam Peckinpah ('The Wild Bunch", "Straw Dogs") from a script by "48 Hrs" and "Red Heat" moviemaker Walter Hill. A specialist in movies in which violence unravels with lightning-quick deadliness, Peckinpah filmed on locations across Texas and in sequence - from the opening inside the Huntsville State Prison to the explosive climax at the El Paso border crossing. All the better to create the atmosphere of omnipresent menace from cult novelist Jim Thompson's original book. All the better to extract on-the-money supporting performances from Academy Award winner Ben Johnson ("The Last Picture Show"), Emmy winner Sally Struthers and screen veterans Slim Pickens and Al Lettieri. And all the better to shape these elements (and a Quincy Jones score) into an explosive entertainment ranking with the best love-on-the-run renegade movies like "You Only Live Once", "Gun Crazy", "Badlands" and, particularly, "Bonnie and Clyde." Because "The Getaway" will leave you breathless.
