The Hunter is a 1980 American action crime drama thriller film directed by Buzz Kulik.
Scannán scéinséir drámaíochta coireachta gníomhaíochta Mheiriceá 1980 é The Hunter faoi stiúir Buzz Kulik.
The film was Steve McQueens final role before his death in November of that year.
Ba é an scannán ról deiridh Steve McQueen sular cailleadh é i mí na Samhna na bliana sin.
Ralph “Papa” Thorson (Steve McQueen) is a modern-day bounty hunter based in Los Angeles who hunts down and captures criminals who have skipped on their bail to bring them back for a 20 faoin gcéad of the reward to his bail bondsman employer.
Is sealgair deolchaire nua-aimseartha é Ralph “Papa” Thorson (Steve McQueen) atá lonnaithe i Los Angeles a dhéanann coirpigh a scipeáil ar a mbannaí a ghabháil agus a ghabháil chun iad a thabhairt ar ais ar 20% den luach saothair dá fhostóir bannaí bannaí.
It is revealed in the opening text that Thorson has apprehended more than 5,000 criminals and bail jumpers and life is just getting complicated for him.
Tugtar le fios sa téacs tosaigh go bhfuil níos mó ná 5,000 coirpeach agus geansaí bannaí gafa ag Thorson agus go bhfuil an saol ag éirí casta dó.
In the opening scene, Thorson arrives in a small town in Illinois where despite being a terrible driver of cars (a running joke used throughout the film), he captures fugitive Tommy Price (LeVar Burton) for fleeing on his bail.
Sa radharc oscailte, sroicheann Thorson baile beag in Illinois, in ainneoin gur tiománaí uafásach gluaisteán é (magadh reatha a úsáideadh ar fud an scannáin), gabhann sé Tommy Price (LeVar Burton) as teitheadh as teitheadh ar a bhannaí.
Next, Thorson drives to Houston where he is to bring in a dangerous punk, named Billie Joe, whose kinfolk include Sheriff Strong, a corrupt redneck lawman who warns Thorson not to get involved.
Ina dhiaidh sin, téann Thorson go Houston áit a bhfuil sé chun punc contúirteach a thabhairt isteach, darb ainm Billie Joe, a bhfuil Sheriff Strong, dlíodóir truaillithe coirne truaillithe a thugann rabhadh do Thorson gan a bheith páirteach ann.
Papa ignores him and ends up in a violent fight with the fugitive, who is so huge, even a beanbag stun gun barely stops him.
Déanann Papa neamhaird air agus críochnaíonn sé i gcomhrac foréigneach leis an teifeach, atá chomh ollmhór, is ar éigean a stopann fiú gunna stiúrtha mála pónairí é.
Thorson drives both Tommy Price and Billie Joe back to Los Angeles where he collects his $1,800 reward for bringing them back.
Tiomáineann Thorson Tommy Price agus Billie Joe araon ar ais go Los Angeles áit a mbailíonn sé a luach saothair $ 1,800 as iad a thabhairt ar ais.
However, Thorson vouches for Price, and thus soon after becomes one of his many acquaintances who hang out at Thorsons house.
Deimhníonn Thorson do Price, áfach, agus mar sin go luath ina dhiaidh sin bíonn sé ar dhuine dá lucht aitheantais iomadúla atá ag crochadh amach i dteach Thorson.
At home, Thorson is revealed to be an old-fashioned guy who has a love of antiques and classical music, drives a 1950s convertible and keeps an antique gasoline pump in his house.
Sa bhaile, tugtar le fios gur fear sean-aimseartha é Thorson a bhfuil grá aige do sheandachtaí agus do cheol clasaiceach, a thiomáineann inchomhshóite ó na 1950idí agus a choinníonn caidéal gásailín seandachtaí ina theach.
His schoolteacher girlfriend Dotty (Kathryn Harrold) is pregnant and would like “Papa” to be there for her when the baby is born, but his work continually keeps him on the road.
Tá a chailín múinteoir Dotty (Kathryn Harrold) ag iompar clainne agus ba mhaith léi go mbeadh “Papa” ann di nuair a bheirtear an leanbh, ach coinníonn a chuid oibre go leanúnach é ar an mbóthar.
Thorson works for elderly and veteran bail bondsman Ritchie Blumenthal (Eli Wallach) who sends him out on dangerous assignments to chase down fugitives in all parts of the USA.
Oibríonn Thorson don bhannaí bannaí sean agus aosta Ritchie Blumenthal (Eli Wallach) a sheolann amach é ar thascanna contúirteacha chun teifeach a lorg i ngach cearn de SAM.
However, Thorson himself is pursued by a psychotic killer who was one of Thorsons former convicts, Rocco Mason (Tracey Walter) who begins stalking Thorson at his home and begins following Dotty around as well.
Mar sin féin, tá marú síceach ar thóir Thorson féin a bhí ar dhuine d’iarchiontóirí Thorson, Rocco Mason (Tracey Walter) a thosaíonn ag stalcaireacht Thorson ina theach agus a thosaíonn ag leanúint Dotty timpeall freisin.
Thorsons adventures continue when he is sent to rural Nebraska to bring back two fugitives, called the Branch Brothers.
Leanann eachtraí Thorson ar aghaidh nuair a chuirtear chuig ceantar tuaithe Nebraska é chun dhá theifeach a thabhairt ar ais, ar a dtugtar na Bráithre Brainse.
He flies out to Nebraska, rents a fancy 1979 Pontiac Trans Am car and drives to the Branch farmhouse where the two psycho brothers steal his car and try to kill him with dynamite.
Eitlíonn sé go Nebraska, tógann sé carr mhaisiúil 1979 Pontiac Trans Am agus tiomáineann sé go teach feirme an Bhrainse áit a ghoid an bheirt deartháireacha sícide a charr agus a dhéanann iarracht é a mharú le dinimíte.
Thorson commandeers a combine machine and chases after the two Branch Brothers through a cornfield which ends when a stick of dynamite dropped by them blows up their car, but they both survive.
Téann Thorson i gcomórtas le meaisín comhcheangail agus ruaig sé tar éis an bheirt Bhráithre Brainse trí pháirc choirce a chríochnaíonn nuair a shéideann maide dinimíte a thit suas a gcarr, ach maireann siad beirt.
Thorson arrives back at the local airport to deliver back the destroyed Trans Am and bring the Branch Brothers on the plane back to Los Angeles.
Sroicheann Thorson an t-aerfort áitiúil ar ais chun an Trans Am scriosta a sheachadadh agus na Bráithre Brainse a thabhairt ar ais go Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, Rocco Mason begins terrorizing Dotty at her workplace which leads Thorson to try to protect her, but she instead tries to make him give up his bounty hunter way of life and to take her to a Lamaze class.
Idir an dá linn, tosaíonn Rocco Mason ag déanamh uafás ar Dotty ina ionad oibre a thugann ar Thorson iarracht a dhéanamh í a chosaint, ach ina ionad sin déanann sí iarracht a dhéanamh a shlí mhaireachtála sealgaire bounty a thabhairt suas agus í a thabhairt chuig rang Lamaze.
Thorson grows tired of it and Dotty threatens to leave him due to his uncertain feelings towards being there for her.
Fásann Thorson tuirseach de agus bagairt Dotty é a fhágáil mar gheall ar a mhothúcháin éiginnte i dtreo a bheith ann di.
When Thorsons police friend Captain Spota (Richard Venture) commits suicide after he is investigated for dealing illegal drugs from the Departments evidence rooms, Thorson goes into a further decline.
Nuair a dhéanann cara póilíní Thorson, an Captaen Spota (Richard Venture) féinmharú tar éis dó imscrúdú a dhéanamh ar dhrugaí mídhleathacha a láimhseáil ó sheomraí fianaise na Roinne, téann meath breise ar Thorson.
Blumenthal next sends Thorson to Chicago to pick up fugitive Bernardo (Thomas Rosales Jr.) a dangerous ex-con which leads to a long chase sequence as Thorson and Bernardo exchange gunfire with each other at an apartment building.
Seolann Blumenthal Thorson go Chicago ina dhiaidh sin chun ex-con contúirteach Bernardo (Thomas Rosales Jr.) a phiocadh as a dtagann seicheamh fada ruaig mar a mhalartaíonn Thorson agus Bernardo gunfire lena chéile ag foirgneamh árasán.
Thorson chases Bernardo on foot through the streets and to an elevated train where Thorson is forced to climb on the roof of the train to avoid getting shot at.
Ritheann Thorson Bernardo ar shiúl na gcos trí na sráideanna agus chuig traein ardaithe ina gcuirtear iallach ar Thorson dreapadh ar dhíon na traenach le go seachnófar lámhaigh air.
The chase leads to the Marina City complex where they both steal cars and chase each other to the top level the parking garage, where the psychotic fugitive drives off the edge and plunges several stories into the Chicago River to his apparent doom.
Téann an ruaig ar choimpléasc Chathair Marina áit a ndéanann siad beirt gluaisteáin a ghoid agus ruaig a chur ar a chéile go dtí an leibhéal is airde sa gharáiste páirceála, áit a dtiomáineann an teifeach síceach amach ón imeall agus a phléann roinnt scéalta isteach in Abhainn Chicago go dtí an chuma atá air.
After returning to Los Angeles that evening, Thorson learns from Price that Dotty has been kidnapped by Rocco Mason and is holding her at the high school where she teaches.
Tar éis dó filleadh ar Los Angeles an tráthnóna sin, foghlaimíonn Thorson ó Price go ndearna Rocco Mason fuadach Dotty agus go bhfuil sé á choinneáil ag an ardscoil ina múineann sí.
Thorson arrives when Mason attempts to kill him with an M-16 assault rifle.
Tagann Thorson nuair a dhéanann Mason iarracht é a mharú le raidhfil ionsaithe M-16.
Unarmed after being deprived of his weapon, Thorson lures Mason into one classroom where he floods the room with flammable gas where once Mason opens fire, the sparks ignites the gas and blows up the room with Mason in it.
Gan arm tar éis dó a arm a bhaint de, tarraingíonn Thorson Mason isteach i seomra ranga amháin ina ndéanann sé an seomra a thuilte le gás inadhainte nuair a osclaíonn Mason tine, lasann na sparáin an gás agus séideann sé suas an seomra le Mason ann.
Having dealt with Mason, Thorson immediately needs to rush Dotty to the hospital when she begins to go into labor.
Tar éis di déileáil le Mason, caithfidh Thorson Dotty a chur ar aghaidh chuig an ospidéal láithreach nuair a thosaíonn sí ag dul i mbun saothair.
Despite being a terrible driver, he manages to get to the hospital where he collapses, exhausted, in the lobby.
In ainneoin gur tiománaí uafásach é, éiríonn leis dul chuig an ospidéal áit a dtitfidh sé, traochta, sa stocaireacht.
