A full-length pinball playfield photographed under glass with the cabinet's black side rails and grey-speckled lower apron visible. The art is a hot-rod getaway-chase theme: a huge white-outlined oval medallion sits mid-playfield containing a red 1960s-style muscle car, above which the title 'SMITH & WESSON GETAWAY' appears in bold yellow letters with a heavy red drop shadow, and a small 'SPECIAL' plate to its right. A fan of white playing cards with red and black pips radiates around the whole oval, with printed numerals 1 to 4 running down the right side in orange and black wedges. The upper third is a separate mechanical zone of pale grey and blue plastic ramps, a yellow wedge ramp, mint-green and red plastics, chrome wireforms and two round pop-bumper caps. Orange and black chevron/hazard striping fills the lower left and right corners. Four round orange 'BALL' medallions sit in a row above the flippers. The dominant colours are orange, black, red and yellow, with grey metal ramps and patches of teal.

A painted backglass panel dominated by a wide grey two-lane highway receding to a central vanishing point, with a dashed yellow centre line and solid yellow edge lines running down grey asphalt in strong perspective. A glossy bright-red open-top sports car is seen from directly behind in the lower centre, its rear deck, twin round tail-lights, chrome bumper and rectangular yellow indicators filling the bottom third; a blonde woman in a red top sits in the passenger seat and a dark-haired man in a black-and-yellow striped shirt grips the wheel. Ahead of it, two grey-and-white police cars with roof lights flashing red and blue block the road, each bearing a yellow five-pointed star on its bonnet. Two dark military-style helicopters with orange-tinted rotor blades hover low over the road, one at each side. Snowy grey-green mountain peaks and pale blue sky fill the background. Across the top, the title THE GETAWAY appears in large italic red block capitals with white outlines, black shadowing and a long red speed-line bar running left to right above it. Airbrushed, high-contrast illustration style; dominant colours are grey, red, blue and white.
