Moody, introspective Bobby Deerfield (Al Pacino) is a Formula 1 motor-racing champion, whose colleague dies in a suspicious crash. He starts his own investigation into the accident by visiting another driver (Stephan Meldegg) in a Swiss clinic. It is here he meets and falls for patient Lillian Morelli (Marthe Keller), who turns out to be dying. The result is a slow-moving romantic drama, with the actors given little chance to prove their worth.
