Collection of the first six films in George Lucas's popular 'Star
Wars' franchise. In 'Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace'
(1999), Jedi Knight Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) and his apprentice
Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) have embarked upon a diplomatic
mission to the planet Naboo, intending to open discussions between
the planet's leaders and the heads of the Trade Federation. But
when they are ambushed by Federation robots, they quickly realise
that the negotiations are merely a decoy for a hostile invasion
organised by the evil Sith master. Joining forces with Jar Jar
Binks (Ahmed Best) and the Naboo Queen Amidala (Natalie Portman),
the Jedis manage to escape from Naboo and journey to the trade
planet of Tatooine, where Qui-Gon meets a young slave boy named
Anakin (Jake Lloyd), whom he identifies as a potentially powerful
Jedi. In 'Star Wars Episodes II: Attack of the Clones' (2002),
Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) disobeys the strictures of
his Jedi training, embarking on a forbidden affair with Amidala
while his teacher Obi-Wan Kenobi's investigation of assassination
attempts against the Senator (Jimmy Smits) leads him to the distant
planet of Kamino and into the middle of a separatist plot which
brings the Galactic Republic to the very brink of civil war. In
'Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith' (2005), as the Clone
Wars rage on, the rift between Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid)
and the Jedi Council widens with young Jedi Knight, Anakin
Skywalker, caught in the middle, his allegiances torn. Seduced by
promises of power and the temptations of the dark side, he pledges
himself to the evil Sith Order, becoming Darth Vader. Together, the
Sith Lords set in motion a plot of revenge against the Jedi, in
attempt to destroy them all. Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi tries to
turn his old Padawan learner back to the light side, leading to a
climactic lightsaber battle that will shape the fate of the galaxy
forever. In 'Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope' (1977), the first
released film of the franchise, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), a
farm boy from a desert planet who dreams of becoming a pilot, is
drawn into a rebellion when his family buys two robots that the
evil Empire are desperate to get their hands on. An old Jedi
knight, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness), and smuggler Han Solo
(Harrison Ford) are among his companions as he attempts to save the
beautiful Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) and aide the rebellion. In
'Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back' (1980), the rebel
alliance flees the power of Darth Vader (Dave Prowse) once again
and finds refuge on the frozen planet of Hoth, but their safe place
does not stay safe for long. In 'Star Wars Episode VI: Return of
the Jedi' (1983), rebel Luke Skywalker (Hamill) and his friends
continue to battle evil in the form of the decadent galactic empire
as the ruthless Palpatine sets plans in motion to build a second
Death Star with the purpose of destroying the Rebel Alliance.

1970s crime comedy starring Stanley Baker, Ursula Andress and David
Warner. Stuffy deputy bank manager Mr Graham (Baker) envies the
high life enjoyed by a number of his clients, notably the
extravagant aristocratic couple Lord Nicholas (Warner) and Lady
Britt Dorset (Andress). However, when Graham becomes involved with
Lady Britt he quickly discovers that the couple are actually in
dire financial trouble and have been living beyond their means for
some time. Having concocted a plan to rob his own bank, Graham
recognises that the Dorsets are the ideal accomplices - or would be
if they weren't so flaky and at each other's throats all the time.
The plan may be perfect, but with three vastly different characters
involved and a great sum of money at stake it may turn out to be a
very eventful Friday indeed...
