There was a reason Steve McQueen was anointed the "King of Cool." Idolized by men and adored by women back in the day, McQueen became a top box office star throughout the 1960s and 70s as the counterculture's idea of an action star. Like John Wayne and Gary Cooper before him, he gained fame by embodying the strong, silent type. But whereas Wayne and Cooper mostly played uncomplicated heroes, McQueen reflected the changing times by playing a more complicated antihero, someone with near antipathy towards acts of valor, who wasn't above using violence in ways that weren't necessarily noble. His star persona hit its apex with The Getaway, Sam Peckinpah's brutal, nihilistic heist film that was reviled in its time but has since been recognized as a classic of action cinema.
