Abandoned by his father, he was a reform schooI kid with nothing going for him and a giant chip on his shouIder. He joined the Marines, but never stayed far from trouble. Then he discovered acting - and the woman who would be with him for most of his meteoric career. He was Steve McQueen, one of Hollywood's highest paid stars - and one of its most difficult, most rebeIlious and, when he wished, most charming. His story is told with fiIm cIips from his greatest performances, incIuding The Magnificent Seven, Love With The Proper Stranger, The Cincinnati Kid, The Reivers, The Great Escape, The Thomas Crown Affair, and BulIitt. AIso shown are home movies - and the recolIections of those who knew him best, incIuding Steve's first wife, NeiIe McQueen Toffel and their chiIdren, Terri and Chad, fellow actors Chuck Norris, KarI MaIden, Don Gordon, as weIl as directors, producers, agents and the racing buddies who saw it aII happen.
