Wiki.
The Driver is a 1978 American crime thriller film written and directed by Walter Hill, and starring Ryan O'Neal, Bruce Dern and Isabelle Adjani. The film follows a getaway driver for robberies whose exceptional talent has prevented him being caught. The Detective promises pardons to a gang if they help catch him in a set-up robbery. The Driver seeks help from The Player.
20th Century Fox released The Driver on July 28, 1978. The film was a box office disappointment in the United States but performed better overseas. Despite initial negative reviews it has become one of Hill's most popular films, and received more positive critical reception in later years. Directors, Quentin Tarantino, Nicolas Winding Refn and Edgar Wright, have cited The Driver as a major influence.
