About this photo
Steve McQueen his Triumph TR6 in *The Great Escape*
This legendary motorcycle chase scene was filmed in the Bavarian Alps in 1962, directed by John Sturges. Ironically, Steve McQueen—a motorcycle enthusiast and accomplished rider—was unable to perform the spectacular jump over the barbed-wire fence himself, as his insurance company had forbidden it. It was his friend and stuntman Bud Ekins who pulled off this now-legendary feat. Discover our collection to Steve McQueen his Triumph TR6, or explore the complete world of The Great Escape.
With a budget of $4 million, *The Great Escape* grossed over $11 million at the global box office, definitively propelling McQueen to superstar status. The film marked a turning point in his career, coming after his successes in *The Magnificent Seven* and before his peak with *Bullitt* and *Le Mans*.
The perfect embodiment of the cool rebellion and thirst for freedom that define the McQueen spirit.
