"That Man Bolt" (1973) is an action film starring Fred Williamson. The movie is a cross between blaxploitation, martial arts, and superspy genres with appearances from trained martial arts experts. Williamson was no stranger to the big screen by 1973 as he starred in over five films as lead actor. Some of his most notable roles in '72 were "The Legend of N***** Charley," "Hammer," and "Black Caesar." The early 70s saw an increase in the number of Black actor opportunities in Hollywood. Williamson was arguably the face of this new surge and a definitive action star.

Storyline
When you need a real man of steel, martial arts expert Jefferson Bolt is the high-priced pick for the job. His latest client, a mysterious British man with a cool million in cash, has an offer Bolt can't refuse: transport his money from Hong Kong to Mexico City or be sent to prison on phony charges. But halfway to his destination, Bolt discovers that the money is funny, and he's been set up to take the fall. With a price on his head and nowhere to turn, Bolt sets out to destroy the crime syndicate that dared to take him on. From high-stakes danger in glitzy Las Vegas to high-speed chases through gritty Los Angeles, Bolt strikes back again and again with an explosive battle culminating in a fiery finish.
