Double Feature

The Getaway (IB Tech Print)

A thief is granted early parole from the State Pen in exchange for pulling off one last bank heist. But when things go awry, the ex-con and his wife must hit the asphalt and make their getaway – cash in hand and with both cops and criminals in pursuit – while navigating a series of deadly double-crosses that threaten to get them caught or killed. Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw star in Sam Peckinpah’s hard-nosed thriller, featuring a memorable score by Quincy Jones and a lean script from Walter Hill based on Jim Thompson’s novel.

“A great thriller. Peckinpah’s control of the escalating frenzy is masterly.” – Chris Peachment, Time Out Film Guide

Charley Varrick

Charley Varrick is a small-time crook who outfoxes the Mob in this fast-paced offbeat thriller directed by Don Siegel. Academy Award® winner Walter Matthau stars in a rare dramatic role, along with the powerful Joe Don Baker, as a tough Mafia hitman. Charley robs small banks with small payrolls. That keeps him out of trouble until he stumbles onto the Mob’s secret stash. The chase is on as the Big Boys go after the “Last of the Independents.” It’s a heart-pounding ride that builds to a fiery airborne climax as Charley makes his last desperate run for the Mexican border and safety.
