In the tense, high-octane thriller The Wheelman, a getaway driver finds himself trapped in a desperate race for survival after a bank heist goes catastrophically wrong. Glenn Ford stars as the titular driver, a man whose simple plan to deliver a mysterious briefcase for a hefty payday quickly unravels into a deadly game of cat and mouse. With the police closing in and his treacherous associates turning on each other, he must navigate the treacherous criminal underworld, where his only potential allies are a sharp-witted woman played by Shirley MacLaine and a suspiciously smooth-talking cohort portrayed by Leslie Nielsen. Directed by John Singleton, the film is a relentless, claustrophobic action-adventure that unfolds primarily within the confines of a speeding car, ratcheting up the paranoia with every passing mile. As betrayals mount and the body count rises, the wheelman must use all his skill and cunning to outdrive his pursuers and uncover who he can really trust before his time runs out.
