The Getaway is a 1972 American action-crime film directed by Sam Peckinpah and starring Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw.

The film is based on the Jim Thompson novel of the same name, with the screenplay written by Walter Hill. The cast also features Ben Johnson, Al Lettieri, Sally Struthers, Jack Dodson and Slim Pickens.

A box office hit earning over $36 million domestically, the film was one of the most financially successful productions of Peckinpah's and McQueen's careers.

A gripping film and one of the best Steve McQueen vehicles. Confident, cool, and stylish from its opening credits onward. The subplot with the henchman emasculating the abducted husband by sleeping with his wife is a creepy flourish (and an easy target for people eager to denounce Sam Peckinpah as a misogynist, but screw it).
