A Giant-sized motion picture, lusty, rousing and with great sweep! One of Hollywood's greatest directors teams with a cast of incredible screen legends for this bold, sweeping tale of a ship's captain who ventures west to find a hotbed of jealousy, hatred and dangerous rivalries. As the reluctant hero is thrust into the maelstrom, he must summon all of his resolve to save not only his own life, but also the life of the woman he loves. Four-time Academy Award® winner William Wyler directs this action-packed adventure that triumphs as a work of art. (Final Cut Entertainment)
