Lancaster. Air Force General Lawrence Dell (Lancaster) has been

holding the government to ransom unless they admit their
culpability. If they refuse, Dell will begin World War Three...

Classic late period film noir directed by virtuoso Orson Welles. A
sweaty thriller set in a hellish border town, it stars Charlton
Heston as Mike Vargas, the self-righteous Mexican cop who goes up
against Welles' monumental Hank Quinlan, an old-time detective who
fabricates evidence in order to mount a case based on gut-instinct.
Famous for its incredibly choreographed seven-minute opening shot,
Henry Mancini's powerful score, and the faded magnificence of the
Quinlan character, it is often considered to be Welles' second
masterpiece.
Four films based on the literary works of Graham Greene. In 'The
Third Man' (1949), writer Holly Martins (Joseph Cotten) arrives in
war-torn Vienna to take up a job with his friend Harry Lime (Orson
Welles). He is informed that Lime died a week previously in a car
accident, but upon investigating further discovers that the
circumstances of Lime's death are shrouded in confusion. Martins
begins to wonder just how well he knew his old friend after the
head of local military police, Major Calloway (Trevor Howard),
convinces him that Lime was in fact a black market drug racketeer
responsible for many deaths. In 'Brighton Rock' (1947), 16-year-old
gangster Pinkie Brown (Richard Attenborough) uses young waitress
Rose Brown (Carol Marsh) as an alibi after commiting a murder at
the race track. Worried that she will give him away, Pinkie marries
Rose. However, his subsequent attempts to drive her to the point of
suicide do not go according to plan. 'The Heart of the Matter'
(1953) stars Trevor Howard as Scobie, an assistant police
commissioner posted in Sierra Leone in World War 2. Exploring
familiar Greene themes such as religion and work politics, the film
co-stars Elizabeth Allan and Maria Schell as the wronged wife and
the hard-done-by mistress. 'The Fallen Idol' (1948) is an
award-winning adaptation of Greene's short story 'The Basement
Room', and is told primarily from a child's perspective. Philippe
(Bobby Henrey) is the young son of a diplomat who idolises Baines
(Ralph Richardson), his father's butler. When Baines' wife is found
murdered and Baines is implicated, Philippe does everything he can
to point the investigation away from the butler. In doing so he
makes matters worse - and also discovers that his hero is not the
man he thought he was.

Classic thriller written by Graham Greene and starring Orson Welles
in which a writer sets about investigating the death of a friend in
post-World War II Vienna. Holly Martins (Joseph Cotten), a pulp
Western writer, arrives in the Austrian capital expecting to take
up a job with his old acquaintance, Harry Lime (Welles). When he is
informed that Lime died a week previously in a car accident,
Martins is intrigued by inconsistencies in the accounts of the
death and decides that he can't leave the city without
investigating matters further. As a consequence, he finds himself
drawn into a web of intrigue and searching for the elusive 'third
man' who was at the scene of Lime's death. When the head of the
local military police, Major Calloway (Trevor Howard), informs him
that Lime was involved in black market drug distribution, the plot
thickens even further...

Box set featuring nine action movies. In 'Skinheads' (1989) a group
of Los Angeles neo-nazis are forced to move to North California
when one of them shoots a black man. When they arrive in the small
town they continue on their path of hatred, harrassment and
destruction until they come across two resilient college kids
determined to stop the skinheads' reign of violence. When a
Hollywood film crew travel to shoot on an isolated desert location
they are attacked by CIA-backed mercenaries. At first the film
people fight back using their special effects equipment, but as the
carnage mounts they sustain heavy losses, and soon the director's
daughter is the only one still alive. She then teams up with one of
the embittered mercenaries to better her chances of surviving.
'Hiroshima' (1990) paints a dramatic account of the race to develop
the atomic bomb, the ethics and politics behind it, and the events
which led to its use at the end of World War 2. In 'Emperor'
(1988), Tony (Alex D'Andrea) is a Bronx street hustler, an
old-fashioned, low-level operator who finds himself forced off his
turf by vicious crime boss Falco (Anthony Gioia). Teaming up with
an ex-con and sultry songstress, he learns a few things about the
way of the world and makes an attempt to get back on the right side
of the wrong side of the tracks - taking the fight back to Falco.
In 'South Bronx' (1985), two young children are being brutally
exploited as their foster home moonlights as the headquarters for
one of the city's largest pornography rings. Amazingly, the two
children escape to the streets, where they enlist the help of an
undercover cop (Mario Van Peebles) and his partner to capture the
porn king and his accomplices. In 'The Swap' (1969) Robert DeNiro
plays Sammy Nicoletti, an adult film director who is murdered. His
brother Vito (Anthony Charnota) vows to find the killer and avenge
Sammy's death. When Vito is released from prison he begins his own
investigation, encountering deceit and blackmail. The final days of
Sammy's life unfold from a party on Long Island back to the big
city. As Vito draws nearer to the truth, his own life hangs
precariously in the balance. In 'Death Collector' (1975) it's 'all
in the family' for a young, streetwise hood as he becomes a
collector for the mob. He quickly rises, run by rung, up the ladder
of the underworld in this violent crime saga. Blaxploitation legend
Fred 'The Hammer' Williamson stars in 'Black Cobra' (1987). When
fashion photographer Elys Trumbo (Eva Grimaldi) sees one of her
neighbours being murdered by a member of the Black Cobras, a
psychopathic motorcycle gang, she manages to catch the killer's
face on film. The Cobras' leader comes after her, but luckily tough
police sergeant Malone (Williamson) has been appointed to protect
her. In 'Born To Win' (1971), George Segal stars as as an
ex-hairdresser who struggles to support his expensive drug habit
and to avoid arrest, turns 'narc', informing on his fellow junkies.
Eventually Segal's sense of self-hatred threatens to overwhelm him.
In 'Revenge' (1988), the gun-crazy right-wing terrorist group
'Strike Force' have set their sights on the deadly NK-2, which is a
very large weapon indeed, and will do everything in their power to
get hold of it. Vietnam vet Jason Shepherd (Roger Rodd) is
approached with the job of tracking down these vicious killers and
preventing them from doing any more damage. He accepts the job, but
when the group gun down two of his most loyal friends, it suddenly
becomes personal.
