Assault On Sacred Mountain - DVD

Alejandro Jodorowsky The Holy Mountain ABKCO [2 DVD's] The scandal of the 1973 Cannes Film Festival, writer/director Alejandro Jodorowsky's flood of sacrilegious imagery and existential symbolism in The Holy Mountain is a spiritual quest for enlightenment pitting illusion against truth. The Alchemist (Jodorowsky) assembles together a group of people from all walks of life to represent the planets in the solar system. The occult adept's intention is to put his recruits through strange mystical rites and divest them of their worldly baggage before embarking on a trip to Lotus Island. There they ascend the Holy Mountain to displace the immortal gods who secretly rule the universe. Restored with new extras.

When four heavily armed terrorists from the Algerian Armed Islamic Group hijacked an Air France plane bound for Paris at Algiers' airport, the 227 passengers on board seemed destined for tragedy. Mindfully avoiding politics and emphasizing only the events themselves, The Assault weaves together the violent and claustrophobic onboard drama.

Set against the backdrop of the final days of the Civil War comes an adventure of true grit. 14-year-old Jamie McIver's been the man of the house since his father left to fight in the Confederate Army. While his dad's been away, Jamie and his family have fought starvation, wild animals and Poss Timmerlake an Army deserter who's trying to steal their land. Just when things couldn't get worse, Poss and his cutthroat band of outlaws burn and plunder their way through the countryside, using the McIvers' mountaintop home as a hideout. When his father returns, he and Jamie find themselves fighting a war of their own in an attempt to save their home. A wondrous adventure full of courage, MENACE ON THE MOUNTAIN is a celebration of family togetherness and determination.
