About The Hunter
During his long career, bounty hunter Ralph "Papa" Thorson has caught over 5,000 criminals. Now, while he is working on apprehending fugitives in Illinois, Texas and Nebraska, he himself is being hunted by a psychotic killer.
Directed by Buzz Kulik, The Hunter leans on a strong ensemble — Steve McQueen, Eli Wallach, Kathryn Harrold — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 1980.
