Steve McQueen is BULLITT a cop given the unfortunate task of keeping a star witness under protection but when the witness gets silenced Bullitt sense somethings up and tries to get down to the bottom of it. The movie is so committed to realism that Bullitt only draws his gun one time in the movie and they use
a real hospital with mostly real doctors and nurses same with the airport scene at the end. The movie is known to have the greatest car chase in film history and what makes it so great is the fact that Steve McQueen did some of his own stunts including the full throttle, adrenalin pumping car chase and was one of the first movies to be shot entirely on location in San Francisco. Another intresting fact is the films stunt cordinator and driver Bill Hickman in the aposing car plays the actor in the film and also was an actor stunt cordinator and driver in the French Connection & the Seven-ups both which were produced by Philip D'Antoni.
