ABOUT THE FILM:
Arguably the greatest American crime film ever made. Gene Hackman stars as Detective Popeye Doyle, who catches the trail of a huge shipment of French heroin. With partner Roy Scheider, Hackman dogs drug-kingpin Fernando Rey through the concrete jungle – highlighted by a brain-jangling car chase that still hasn’t been topped.
