Richard Harris (Gladiator, Camelot) plays a detective on undercover assignment for the owners, fighting his own conscience. Academy Award ?winner Sean Connery (Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade, The Untouchables) is the tough and suspicious leader of the Mollies who repeatedly tests the newcomer's loyalty. Excellent photography and fine action scenes add to the realism of this vivid social drama.

Political double-talk, dirty tricks, hidden microphones, spy satellites, bugging the Oval Office and a nuclear bomb for sale are all ingredients in this swift, funny and frightening look at the possibilities in today's political arenas. Sean Connery stars as globe-trotting ace TV news reporter Partick Hale, who is on the trail of a terrorist offering the sale of a nuclear bomb to a Mid-East oil country. Hale juggles Arab sheiks and international intelligence agents to get at the story. Meanwhile, the President (George Grizzard) tries to convince the public there is no bomb to save his career, while his main opponent in the upcoming election tries to buy the bomb to prove it exists and discredit the President, and General Wombat (Robert Conrad) wants to just bomb the whole Middle East. The frenzied plot is hilarious, yet its close parallels to today's front page news add an ominous element of fright.

Widely acclaimed as one of Hollywood's greatest war films, THE LONGEST DAY is a spectacular account of the events leading up to and through the Allied Forces' invasion of Normandy, France on D-Day (June 6), 1944 to fight the occupying Germans. Producer Darryl F. Zanuck spared no expense in recreating this heroic, extremely complex and massive invasion, which consisted of more than 3.5 million Allied soldiers, two-thirds of them American. Featuring a huge and talented cast headed by John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Richard Burton, Sean Connery and Robert Mitchum, THE LONGEST DAY tells the story of D-Day from the viewpoint of all of its participants, German and French included. In order to make the film as authentic as possible, Zanuck employed the actual locations called for in Cornelius Ryan's screenplay, such as the command posts occupied by the Germans, the French underground network, Omaha Beach, Utah Beach and sites in England. The film is a sobering examination of D-Day, particularly from the perspective of the Germans, who are overwhelmed by the forces brought against them. It is in fact a German officer, at the start of the day, who gives the story its title, as he looks at the approaching armada and says, This will be the longest day. All the characters speak in their own languages with subtitles, which adds to the documentary feeling of this gigantic and fascinating war epic. THE LONGEST DAY won Academy Awards for Best Cinematography and Best Special Effects, and earned Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Editing and Art Direction.

Hitchcock creates a masterful psychological thriller about a compulsive liar and thief (Tippi Hedren), who winds up marrying the very man (Sean Connery) she attempts to rob.

And a tragic twist of fate brings these two women together for a climactic confrontation.

Long ago, when majestic fire-breathers soared through the skies, there lived a knight who would come face-to-face and heart-to-heart with the most remarkable creature that ever existed.

Some mystery thrillers keep the mind racing. Some keep the heart hammering. Just Cause does both so powerfully it's 'the best thriller since The Silence of the Lambs' (Susan Granger, CRN/American Movie Classics). Sean Connery, Laurence Fishburne, Ed Harris and more top talents ignite the fast-paced nerve-jangler that pumps the adrenaline full throttle and works the gray matter overtime. Connery plays Paul Armstrong, a Harvard Law School professor who reopens a murder investigation on behalf of a Death Row inmate (Blair Underwood) who claims he was forced by a sinister lawman (Fishburne) to confess to a crime he didn't commit. On the surface, it seems to be a straight-ahead case of the prisoner's guilt or innocence. But nothing really lies on the surface of this mystery set in the Florida swamplands. Expect the unexpected. And also expect 'a riveting, action-packed thriller! Brimming with suspense.' (Neil Rosen, NY-1 News/New York).

Sean Connery heads an all-star cast in this wickedly funny comedy about sex, power and colliding. Hailed by the Chicago Tribune as a grand party with wonderful guests!

The critics and public agree. Brian De Palma's The Untouchables is a must-see masterpiece - glorious, fierce, larger-than-life depiction of the mob warlord who ruled Prohibition-era Chicago... and the law enforcer who vowed to bring him down. This classic confrontation between good and evil and stars Kevin Costner as federal agent Eliot Ness, Robert De Niro as gangland kingpin Al Capone and Sean Connery as Malone, the cop who teaches Ness how to beat the mob: shoot fast and shoot first.
