Le Mans is a film starring Steve McQueen as a racer who has gotten into a serious accident at the Le Mans racing event. He seeks to prove himself at the next Le Mans event and defeat his rival. Steve McQueen really raced in Le Mans in real life, so this film is a big expression of love for his hobby.

This film contains examples of:

• Cool Car - Cars that are still renowned among car enthusiasts today
• Did Not Do The Bloody Research - The upside-down V hand sign McQueen does in the film. It can be considered an insult in some English-speaking countries.
• Every Car Is a Pinto - An unusual event for a movie that is otherwise quite realistic
• Scenery Porn - Both of France's countryside and of its cities, this movie can feel downright existentialist at times
