Overview
Senator Walter Chalmers is aiming to take down mob boss Pete Ross with the help of testimony from the criminal’s hothead brother Johnny, who is in protective custody in San Francisco under the watch of police lieutenant Frank Bullitt. When a pair of mob hitmen enter the scene, Bullitt follows their trail through a maze of complications and double-crosses. This thriller includes one of the most famous car chases ever filmed.

Viewing Notes
Pretty much the quintessential Steve McQueen-as-badass movie, Bullitt looks excellent on Blu-Ray. The car chase scene, in which McQueen did his own driving I believe, is still one of the best car chase scenes in the history of movies: fast moving cars, real streets, no dialogue and excellent stunt work!
Hard to imagine that Yates would later direct Krull in 1983.
