Academy Award-nominee Richard Harris ("Unforgiven," "Camelot") plays a trapper left for dead after being mangled by a mammoth grizzly bear. Struggling to survive in the wilderness, he keeps himself going by planning revenge on the expedition who left him, especially group leader John Huston (Academy Award-winning actor-director of "Chinatown," "The Treasures of the Sierra Madre"). "Absorbing suspense...a provocative adventure film," says the L.A. Times, while Leonard Maltin declares this "well-made and engrossing," rating it a high three stars.

Award-winning superstars Clint Eastwood ("Unforgiven," "Million Dollar Baby") and Burt Reynolds ("Dukes of Hazzard," "The Longest Yard") join forces for the very first time in an action comedy set in the 1930s. Clint is a hard-nosed cop, Burt's a wisecracking gumshoe, and both are on the trail of some bad news gangsters. Though the two don't exactly get along, the mob still had better watch out! Co-starring Academy Award-nominees Madeline Kahn ("A Bug's Life," "Young Frankenstein") and Jane Alexander ("The Ring," "Cider House Rules"), Academy Award nominated and Emmy-winner Rip Torn ("Dodgeball," "Men in Black"), and Academy Award and Golden Globe-winning pop star Irene Cara ("Fame"), and directed by Golden Globe-winner and Emmy-nominated Richard Benjamin ("Mermaids," "Made in America").

A slick private eye and tough police lieutenant--once partners, now bitter enemies--reluctantly team up to investigate a murder.

In Kansas City 1933, wisecracking detective Murphy (Burt Reynolds) tracks the killer of his partner. Police Lt. Speer (Clint Eastwood) doesn't have much tolerance for the local mob war's body count. Neither guy likes each other, so that makes them a dream team. And it provides the ideal scenario as they clean up the town with slugfests and shoot-'em-ups that parody Reynolds' and Eastwood's macho screen images.

A dramatization of the one possibly successful escape from the notorious prison.

Superstar Clint Eastwood and director Don Siegal re-team for their fifth film in this fascinating account of the only three men ever to escape from the infamous maximum security prison at Alcatraz. In 29 years, the seemingly impenetrable federal penitentiary, which housed Al Capone and "Birdman" Robert Stroud, was only broken once - by three men never heard of again. Eastwood portrays Frank Morris, the cunning bank robber who masterminded the elaborately detailed and, as far as anyone knows, ultimately successful, escape. Patrick McGoohan is a superb counterpoint as the suspicious warden. Filmed on location in Alcatraz, this gritty and realistic reenactment of a true story has all the power one expects of an Eastwood/Siegel movie.
