Full Plot Details

An old man looks back 60 years to a road trip from rural Mississippi to Memphis, a horse race, and his own coming of age. Lucius's grandfather gets the first automobile in the area, a bright yellow Winton Flyer. While he's away, the plantation handyman, Boon Hogganbeck, conspires to borrow the car, taking Lucius with him. Stowed away is Ned, a mulatto and Lucius's putative cousin. The three head for Memphis, where Boon's sweetheart works in a whorehouse, where Ned trades the car for a racehorse, and where Lucius discovers the world of adults - from racism and vice to possibilities for honor and courage. Is there redemption for reivers, rascals, and rapscallions?

Movie Reviews

EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyA well acted adaptation of William Faulkner's last novel, offering good roles for Steve McQueen and Rupert Cross, only the second black to receive an oscar nomination by 1969.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by James M. SilverThe Reivers is a pleasant, wholesome, straightforward movie of the sort (as they say) they don't make anymore.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Howard ThompsonMark Rydell's direction conveys a zestful spirit, as do the film's turn-of-the-century look and picaresque minor characters.
The New Yorker - 7/10 by Pauline KaelPeriod charm accounts for much of the mild enjoyment to be had from this sunnily nostalgic adaptation of William Faulkner's novel about an unholy trio - small boy (Vogel), dimwitted young buck (McQueen) and wily black (Crosse) - who 'borrow' a 1905 Winton Flyer and drive triumphantly off to Memphis for three days of illicit pleasure.
The Observer (UK) - 7/10 by Philip FrenchThe Reivers is a nice bawdy film, sort of Walt Disney with an adult rating.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Michael McKegneyMeredith's narrative helped to keep the proceedings together but could not circumvent Rydell's ordinary direction and the silly script. McQueen could do a lot of things well, but comedy wasn't his forte.
User Review - 10/10 by Jezzy AI saw this movie in a drive-in in 1971. The story is sweet - this is the first movie where I remember being stunned by the cinemetography.
User Review - 10/10 by Frances HThe best ever movie made from a William Faulkner novel and one of my favorite movies. The Reivers is a classic Steve McQueen flick with a great cast and the best horse race scene ever made, but also it is also a wonderful coming-of-age story too, with Will Geer simply wonderful as the grandfather.
User Review - 10/10 by Mark BAn old film but a brilliant adaptation of Faulkners last novel. Wish I could find it now.
User Review - 10/10 by Marilyn GClassic feel good film, great McQueen action.
