Steve McQueen truly is an American Icon. One of America's most endearing and intriguing movie stars, he "is still the King of Cool" according to Esquire Magazine-50 years after the zenith of his career. The strangest thing about him, however, is barely known, despite countless biographies and articles. Steve McQueen was a believer in Jesus Christ. On the surface McQueen had everything he could want-fame, cars, homes, more money than he could spend in a lifetime. An avid fan of the actor (and owner of a replica of McQueen's car in the classic film Bullitt), Pastor Greg Laurie hits the road in his mint Mustang, traveling the country in search of the true, untold story of McQueen's redemption-filled final chapters.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
McQueen attended a Billy Graham crusade in 1978 and requested a private meeting — Graham later said it was one of his most memorable encounters with a celebrity.
The documentary was produced by Greg Laurie's own ministry, Harvest Crusade, making it essentially a pastor's fan film — which explains both its earnestness and its blind spots.
