About This Item
Legendary director Robert Aldrich (THE DIRTY DOZEN) delivers a nail-biting thriller starring screen legend Burt Lancaster (THE PROFESSIONALS) in an unforgettable performance as Lawrence Dell, a highly decorated US Air Force Colonel who escaped for a military prison and with the help of three other convicts (Paul Winfield, Burt Young, William Smith). The four men take over a nuclear base and hold America hostage. This fully restored directors cut was re-mastered by the Bavaria Film Studios. The stellar cast includes Richard Widmark, Joseph Cotten, Melvyn Douglas and Charles Durning as the American President.
