The world of car racing has always been a reminder for superstars of Hollywood, although only few of them have been able to play prominent in high-level competitions. The myth, the man, the race: these are the ingredients of “Steve McQueen: The Man & Le Mans” directed by Gabriel Clarke and John McKenna (also producers of the film) in competition to “Sport Movies & Tv 2017 – 35th Milano International FICTS Fest” Final of 16 Festivals (around the 5 Continents) of the “World FICTS Challenge” Worldwide Championship of Television, Cinema, Culture and Sport Communication scheduled in Milano (Italy), from November 15th to 20th.

The film, is the story of obsession, betrayal and ultimate vindication, the story of how one of the most volatile, charismatic stars of his generation, who seemingly lost so much he held dear in the pursuit of his dream, nevertheless followed it to the end, as well as the passionate portrait of Steve McQueen, a man on top of success, ready to question everything (including private life) in order to realize the dream of filming on car racing. The feature film – featuring the participation of Steve McQueen’s wife and son as well as exclusive interviews with Derek Bell (five times winner at Le Mans) – offers a valuable breakthrough on the world of car racing in the 1970’s, while at the same time telling unpublished aspects of the character of the legendary actor.
