Steve McQueen Rides off in style in a colourful adventure. This winning slice of life nostalgic film based on William Faulkner's esteemed novel is a richly humorous adventure set in early 1900's Mississippi.

Steve McQueen stars as boon, a roguish hired hand who "borrows" his employer's new automobile, a spectacular Winton Flyer, and takes off for Memphis. Accompanying him are Ned, the black stable hand (Rupert Crosse in an Oscar - nominated performance) and Lucius (Mitch Vogel), an earnest 12-year old on the verge of losing his innocence. The three "reivers"(thieves) set out on a wild escapade that takes them everywhere from a brothel to a spectacular horse race where Lucius must ride a stallion to victory if he is to win back the Winton that Ned swapped for the horse.

John William's acclaimed score also earned an Oscar nomination in director Mark Rydell's sentimental comedy about the irresistible pursuit of excitement and glory.
