About The Driver
An enigmatic man of fast cars and few words, the Driver (Ryan O'Neal) excels at maneuvering getaway vehicles through the tightest of spots, making him quite in demand in criminal circles. His skill and notoriety, however, infuriate the Detective (Bruce Dern), who becomes obsessed with taking the Driver down. Luckily for the speed-loving anti-hero, the Player (Isabelle Adjani), a gorgeous and resourceful woman, is around to help him elude the Detective.

Leeds: M62 motorist brings sick driver's car safely to a stop
A car whose driver had fallen seriously ill while at The Wheel on a motorway was brought to a halt by a quick-witted motorist who had realised his plight.
John Barlow said he spotted the Audi going slowly in the outside lane of the M62 near Leeds on Saturday. The Driver was slumped with a bloodied face.

It emerged The Driver had suffered a seizure but was well enough to Go Home .
Mr Barlow, 59, from Middleton in Greater Manchester , said he first noticed the Audi travelling slower and slower and he pulled alongside to see The Driver .
" He looked dead at The Wheel . I could see his lips were blue and he had blood trickling down his face, " Mr Barlow said.
He pulled into the lane ahead of the Audi, which was travelling at about 30mph (48km/h), before taking his foot off the accelerator and bringing both cars to a stop.
The Incident happened at about 15:15 BST on Saturday on the M62 eastbound carriageway between junctions 29 and 30, a West Yorkshire Police spokesperson confirmed.
Officers said A Man in his 70s had fallen ill and Mr Barlow's actions to stop The Car had prevented a " potential serious collision".

Other drivers also stopped at The Scene , bringing the four-lane carriageway to a halt.
A physio and an off-duty Police Officer took over The First aid until paramedics arrived.
Meanwhile, a doctor on The Opposite carriageway of the M62 travelled to The Next junction, turned round and battled through the backed-up traffic to get to work with a defibrillator.
Mr Barlow said: " Everyone was amazing, it was a real team effort. They got The Man on the floor, then The Doctor jumped in as well. "
Mr Barlow had been travelling to Pontefract with his wife Kirsty and son Joey, 7, to Pick Up a new kitten at The Time of The Incident .
