Bullitt is a 1968 thriller film starring Steve McQueen. It was distributed by Warner Bros.

The director was Peter Yates. The story was adapted for the screen by Alan Trustman and Harry Kleiner, based on the novel titled Mute Witness (1963) by Robert L. Fish (aka Robert L. Pike). Lalo Schifrin wrote the original music score, a memorable mix of jazz, brass and percussion.

The movie won the Academy Award for Best Film Editing (Frank P. Keller) and was nominated for Best Sound. Writers Trustman and Kleiner won a 1969 Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America for Best Motion Picture Screenplay.

Bullitt is most-remembered for its central car chase scene through the streets of downtown San Francisco, one of the earliest and most influential car chase sequences in movie history.[1] The scene had Bullitt in a dark "Highland Green" 1968 Ford Mustang G.T.390 Fastback, chasing two hit-men in a "Tuxedo Black" 1968 Dodge Charger R/T 440 Magnum. (In honor of the Mustang in the film, the Ford Motor Company produced a limited edition 2001 Ford Mustang GT "Bullitt Mustang," which took styling cues from the '68 movie car and even mimicked its exhaust note).

Bullit is great, but you're right. Gone in 60 Seconds the 1974 version was spectacular. I was 10 when I saw that in the theatre. Too cool. By the way the scene when he takes out the light pole actually happen for real. They just roled a camera and let him drive on a real freeway.

Best car chase scene ever!

I laugh at anyone who says this scene was sped up, it was one of the few car chase scenes of its time to be put on film at normal speed.

This is what started the whole "car chase" shebang.

Anyone who says this movie was garbage has a terrible taste in films.

man how i would love to have been the one to fix that stallions body and control arms... and i love old movies, i may be born in 1992 but those old movies chases were actually driven on scene and by the actual actor, now the only one who actually drives is Nicolas Cage in Gone in 60 Seconds

At least this was filmed on real film. Films of today have all the special effects done on computer.

one of my favorites...and by the way..I hate those nagative comments..just look at the year when it was made..such a realistic movie for it's time. Many filmproducers learn from this chase.
