Breakheart Pass -- Charles Bronson stars in this nerve-shattering mystery thriller about a treacherous train ride across the snowy western frontier. Also stars Richard Crenna and Jill Ireland.

The Outlaw Josey Wales -- Clint Eastwood directs himself in this portrayal of an ex-Confederate soldier who returns home after the war to find his family murdered by a group of Unionists. Refusing to surrender, he sets off on a path of lethal revenge against his former commander.

This saga of the wagon-train journey of a group of Western pioneers from Independence, Missouri, to Oregon along the historic Oregon Trail (from the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by A.B. Guthrie, Jr.) is known for its breathtaking photography of the Western expanse (by William H. Clothier). Kirk Douglas portrays a widowed senator who leads the wagon train, and Robert Mitchum plays the troubled trail scout--a man plagued by poor eyesight. The trials of the trail include Indian attacks and the inevitable human conflicts of men and women who are living in close quarters in a volatile, tense and dangerous atmosphere. Among the members of the party: a highly irascible and colorful Richard Widmark, and Sally Field in her first film role.

Charles Bronson ("Death Wish," "The Dirty Dozen") is a Russian secret agent on the hunt for a demented Soviet defector who plans on using a group of hypnotized American spies to wreak havoc on the U.S. Suspenseful thriller co-stars Emmy-winner Tyne Daily (TV's "Cagney & Lacey"), Oscar-nominee Lee Remick ("A Face in the Crowd"), and Donald Pleasance ("The Great Escape"). Written by acclaimed action writer/director Peter Hyams ("Timecop," "2010") and directed by Don Siegel ("Dirty Harry," "Invasion of the Body Snatchers").
