The Sean Connery Star Collection (Never Say Never Again / Cuba / A Bridge Too Far / Shalako)

The "Sean Connery Star Collection" includes "Never Say Never Again", "Cuba", "A Bridge Too Far" and "Shalako". "Never Say Never Again": Sean Connery is back for his final performance as superagent James Bond in this high-velocity action thriller from the director of "The Empire Strikes Back". When two atomic warheads are hijacked by the evil SPECTRE organization, Agent 007 is hurled into an explosive, pulse-pounding race to save the world from nuclear terrorists! "Cuba": Havana, Cuba. 1959. A tropical island paradise is on the brink of revolution. Robert Dapes (Connery), a cynical British mercenary, comes to the country at the request of one of Batista's most corrupt functionaries, General Bello (Martin Balsam). But once there, Dapes finds himself unable to ignore the brutality and depravity of the Batista regime and unable to resist Alexandra Pulido (Adams), an old lover now married to a wealthy Cuban landowner. Surrounded by volatile guerilla fighters and the human vultures present at all coups, he must come to terms with his shifting views if he has any thought of getting out alive. "A Bridge Too Far": Painstakingly recreated on actual battlefield locations and boasting a remarkable cast that includes Sean Connery, Anthony Hopkins, Sir Laurence Olivier and Robert Redford, A Bridge Too Far accurately recaptures the monumental scope, excitement and danger behind one of the biggest military gambles in history. In September 1944, flush with success after the Normandy Invasion, the Allies confidently launched Operation Market Garden, a wild scheme intended to put an early end to the fighting by invading Germany and smashing the Reich's war plants. But a combination of battlefield politics, faulty intelligence, bad luck and even worse weather led to disaster beyond the Allies' darkest fears. "Shalako": Gutsy, gunslinging Shalako (Connery) is a loner who looks out for number one, until he finds himself rescuing - and falling for - a beautiful countess (Bardot) under attack by Apache Indians. But when Shalako discovers that the countess is part of a European hunting party that refuses to be led to safety, he must summon all his courage to fight the Apache and save the woman he loves or die trying. "Never Say Never Again", "A Bridge Too Far" and "Shalako" are Rated PG; "Cuba" is Rated R.
