Robinson in "The Cincinnati Kid" (1965), then goes up against the mob as a hard-driving cop in the high-octane crime drama "Bullitt" (1968), featuring one of the most hair-raising car chases ever caught on film. He plays a hard-boiled bank robber on the runwith Ali MacGraw in director Sam Peckinpah's violent odyssey "The Getaway" (1972) prior to delivering a stunning transformative performance as the indomitable Devil's Island prisoner "Papillon" (1973), opposite Dustin Hoffman.
