Thomas Crown Affair / The Great Escape / The Magnificent Seven

THE GREAT ESCAPE


In 1943, the Germans opened Stalag Luft North, a maximum security prisoner-of-war camp, designed to hold even the craftiest escape artists. In doing so, however, the Nazis unwittingly assembled the finest escape team in military history - brilliantly portrayed here by Steve McQueen, James Garner, Charles Bronson and James Coburn - who worked on what became the largest prison breakout ever attempted. One of the most ingenious and suspenseful adventure films of all time,The Great Escape is a masterful collaboration between director John Sturges (The Magnificent Seven), screenwriters James Clavell ("Shogun") and W.R. Burnett (Little Caesar), and composer Elmer Bernstein. Based on a true story,The Great Escape is epic entertainment that "entertains, captivates, thrills and stirs" (Variety)

THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR


Thrill-seeking billionaire Thomas Crown (Brosnan) loves nothing more than courting disaster - and winning! So when his world becomes too stiflingly "safe," he pulls off his boldest stunt ever: stealing a priceless painting - in broad daylight - from one of Manhattan's most heavily-guarded museums. But his post-heist excitement soon pales beside an even greater challenge: Catherine Banning (Russo). A beautiful insurance investigator hired to retrieve the artwork, Catherine's every bit as intelligent, cunning and hungry for adventure as he is. And just when Thomas realizes he's finally met his match, she skillfully leads him into a daring game of cat and mouse that's more intoxicating - and dangerous - than anything either of them has ever experienced before.

THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN


When a small Mexican village is terrorised by the evil bandit Calvera (Eli Wallach) and his gang of bloodthirsty men, only The Magnificent Seven have the courage, the daring and the firepower to come to the rescue! The town's farmers have no guns, no money and not a violent bone in their bodies. So they head for the border and find Chris (Yul Brynner) and Vin (Steve McQueen), two out-of-work, hired guns who round up five more rugged outlaws, including James Coburn, Charles Bronson and Robert Vaughn. Now, the Seven are ready for action, and they're not in it for the money - they're in it for the adventure. At first, victory seems assured. But Calvera won't give up, and decides to come back for some serious bloodshed. The Magnificent Seven must ride to the rescue and free the town in a spectacular fight to the death that makes this film a true action-adventure classic!
