Story
Steve McQueen’s last film. Visibly marked with the cancer that was to kill him, he nevertheless gives it his all in this action thriller full of car chases and spectacular crashes. McQueen is Ralph „Papa“ Thorson, a modern bounty hunter, who catches criminals on the run for a reward. His girlfriend Dotty is less than enthusiastic about his job, especially as she’s expecting their first child. And it’s she who is the target for Rocco Mason who wants to settle a score with Thorson, who once put him in jail and should now pay with what he loves most dearly.
