The Driver (1978)

Walter Hill’s tense, diamond-tight neo noir, starring Ryan O’Neal.
Overlooked on first release, The Driver has gone on to inspire many filmmakers including James Cameron, Quentin Tarantino and Nicolas Winding Refn. This hugely influential movie is so precise, it’s as if the ace getaway driver himself had made it.
