If you like motorcycle action, racing of all types, this is it! A must have for your DVD collection of action sports. Steve McQueen narrates and has cameo scenes. Most important it shows big name motorcycle racers of the 70's circa. Must have DVD!
What's great about it: Superb cycle scenes throughout
McQueen at his best. Excellent acting throughout by the great one himself. Plot is interesting and ending is surprizing...Overall great flic, especially so as it is one of McQueen's last films prior to his passing.
Robert Redford as never seen before in superb skiing action. A great plot involving a man trying to overcome a humble upbringing and become an Olympic Gold Medalist in downhill skiing. Great action shots of Redford as he skies and an interesting plot regarding his life up to the Olympics. Highly recommended if you like action and Redford as an actor!
What's great about it: Stellar action shots of skiing as never seen before.
Henry Hathaway's film is based on a character from Harold Robbins' The Carpetbaggers, who, in turn, based it on cowboy actor Ken Maynard. Set in the West of the 1890s, the film opens with the torture and murder of the parents of Max Sand (Steve McQueen) by a trio of gunslingers seemingly motivated by their hostility toward the mixed nature of the marriage, since the wife is a Native American. Swearing revenge, the young cowhand enlists the help of itinerant gunsmith Jonas Cord Brian Keith, who teaches him how to shoot while counseling against revenge. Nonetheless, Sand doggedly scours one town after the other before finally running up against one of the murderers, Jesse Coe (Martin Landau). He finally kills Coe in a vicious knife fight, but is severely wounded himself and has to be nursed back to health by Neesa (Janet Margolin), a young Kiowa woman. He next heads for Louisiana where another of the murderous trio, Bill Bowdre (Arthur Kennedy), is serving a prison sentence in a remote swamp. In order to get close to the man, Sand stages a robbery, and is soon among the prison inmates. This was the only film on which McQueen worked with Landau, the only other person admitted to the Actor's Studio out of thousands of applicants in 1957.

Steve McQueen at his greatest! Superb movie when the great Steve McQueen ruled the silver screen. Great job acting, good to see him once again on a recently released DVD. A great price for an opportunity to see the great one again!
What's great about it: Steve McQueen in a great Picture
