Director Jon Brewer's documentary tells the fascinating story of Steve McQueen's lesser-known passion for desert motorbike racing and his hidden talents. The film explores McQueen's obsession with motorbikes, which stemmed from his relationship with stunt double Bud Ekins and their work on the film "The Great Escape". McQueen and Ekins collaborated on a custom racing bike, which was later reproduced as the "Desert Racer" in a limited edition run of 300 handcrafted motorbikes. The documentary features archive photos and footage, as well as interviews with those involved in the story.
