About this photo
Steve McQueen and his Triumph TR6 in the California desert in *The Great Escape*
This photograph captures Steve McQueen during the filming of *The Great Escape* in 1962, posing with his Triumph TR6 Trophy in the Mojave Desert. Director John Sturges had initially refused to let McQueen perform the motorcycle jump sequence himself, but the actor insisted on doing most of the stunts. This image captures the essence of the "King of Cool" in his natural element, combining his passion for speed with his legendary charisma.
With a budget of $4 million, *The Great Escape* grossed over $11 million at the global box office. The film cemented McQueen’s reputation as an action movie icon, alongside Charles Bronson and James Garner. This psychological thriller marked a turning point in McQueen’s career, paving the way for his future successes in *Bullitt* and *Le Mans*.
This fine art print is hand-framed in a limited edition of 30 copies, printed on fine art paper in a 70x50 cm format. The solid wood frame with 3mm crystal glass protects this exceptional piece, which comes with a certificate of authenticity and a hologram, and ships within 48 hours.
A legendary piece that captures McQueen’s rebellious spirit against the vast backdrop of the American desert.
