Porter (Mel Gibson) carries out a $140,000 heist with his partner Val Resnick (Gregg Henry) and wife, Lynn (Deborah Kara Unger), only for them to double-cross him, shooting Porter and leaving him for dead. Vowing revenge, a recovered Porter sets off in pursuit, but in so doing attracts the attention of corrupt cops Hicks (Bill Duke) and Leary (Jack Conley), who want the money for themselves. Based on 'The Hunter', the same novel that inspired 'Point Blank' and 'The Outfit'.

The entire Seventies miniseries adaptation of Anne Sewell's classic novel is brought together here on two tapes. Black Beauty is a fine, handsome horse who goes through many trials and tribulations at the hand of cruel or neglectful masters. Although mistreated, Beauty is always loyal and faithful, and eventually finds his reward when he is taken in by kindly owners who are appreciative of his noble spirit.
