The event kicks off Sunday, September 6, with a six-hour marathon of Wanted: Dead or Alive airing from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. ET. The broadcast features McQueen as Josh Randall, the bounty hunter famously armed with a sawed-off Winchester dubbed the Mare’s Leg. Following the western marathon, the network will air the 1968 classic Bullitt, a film celebrated for its high-speed chase sequence through the streets of San Francisco.
