THE DRIVER (1978)

WALTER HILL

Plot

The driver (he has no name) is the best getaway man in the business, expressionless, utterly focused and with a line in banter that makes Clint Eastwood's tight lipped western gunslinger look like a compulsive yakker. The driver's nemesis is a cop obsessed with bringing him down, a man whose desire is leading him to the edge of his sanity, and the limits of the law. The Driver is a hard, sharp, intelligent thriller, with a series of car chases that match the classic ‘Bullitt'. One of the seminal action flicks of the 70's.
