This iconic film, released in 1971, depicts the pursuit of drug smugglers in New York City by two detectives, Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle (Gene Hackman) and Buddy "Cloudy" Russo (Roy Scheider).
The film's iconic car chase scene, where Doyle pursues a train across the elevated tracks of the IRT Pelham Line, is often considered one of the greatest action sequences in cinema history.
