Plot
Hollywood looks, extraordinary mind, passion for speed and beautiful women ... That's all he is. However, he is not who he claims to be. In 1972, dozens of FBI agents were sent to search for a man calling himself Steve McQueen in California. The thief not only took the name of the famous actor, but in addition dared to rob the President of the United States himself, joining a gang of the same reckless daredevils. At stake was $ 30 million from illegal funds. Is this even a crime?
