  • A cool cult classic cited by many directors as a major influence on their work, THE DRIVER was written and directed by Walter Hill and first released in 1978. The film stars Ryan O’Neal, Bruce Dern and Isabelle Adjani. O’Neal plays a getaway driver whose exceptional talent has prevented him being caught, Dern plays the relentless detective who sets out to trap him and Adjani plays the mysterious gambler who goes along for the thrill of the game. [Restored in 4K]
    The film stars Ryan O’Neal (Love Story), Bruce Dern (Nebraska) and Isabelle Adjani (Possession). O’Neal plays a getaway driver whose exceptional talent has prevented him being caught, Dern plays the relentless detective who sets out to trap him and Adjani plays the mysterious gambler who goes along for the thrill of the game.
    The neo-noir action thriller takes place in the dark streets of a deserted downtown LA and features a number of breath-taking car chase sequences, celebrated as some of the greatest in movie history, including The Driver hot-wiring a Ford to make good an escape from a casino heist, before being pursued by a succession of police cars; a thrilling set piece where The Driver demonstrates his abilities during the infamous destruction of a Mercedes in an underground car park; and the end chase which is an exhilarating, superbly shot sequence from the freeway to an abandoned warehouse for a tense final showdown.

    What makes this movie timeless is the lack of any soundtrack during most of the car scenes. If there'd been lots of stock '70s car chase thriller muzak, it would've badly aged the film.

    I must have watched The Driver over 20 times on VHS. He hardly says more than a paragraph in the film.
    But he was perfect for the part; both vulnerable & yet tough as nails.
    Rest in peace 🙏🏻

    As a student of mechanical engineering, automotive kind to be specific, what I find the most incredulous about this production is the lack of anyone wearing a seat-belt, stuntmen included, even if three-point seat belts being installed in most vehicles as standard here. Stunts being done with out a safetycage in the car and you know, a carbon fiber crash helmet isn't even a laboratory item at this point. Its a miracle this movie isn't known for number of stuntmen killed.
