“It's always McQueen's movie. He's snappy, laconic and cynical in equal doses, and his performance is complemented by the assured support of Robert Vaughn as a sleazy politician whose interference gets under the cool cop's skin...”

- Tom Hutchinson, Radio Times

Screened in tribute to Lalo Schifrin (1932 - 2025)

San Francisco police lieutenant Frank Bullitt (Steve McQueen) is assigned to protect a crucial witness in a high-profile case. As events spiral, he navigates political pressure, dangerous leads, and the city’s underworld, in his unflappable and methodical pursuit of the truth… A benchmark of 1960s crime cinema, and a masterclass in mood, pacing, and understated star power (not to mention a high-octane car chase through the streets of San Francisco) Bullitt blends gritty realism with sleek cinematic flair - while Lalo Schifrin’s jazz-infused score adds a subtle, urban cool.
