Description:
OUT OF AFRICA (1985):
154 minutes
The most acclaimed motion picture of 1985 stars Robert Redford (THE STING, THE NATURAL) and Meryl Streep (KRAMER VS. KRAMER, SOPHIE`S CHOICE) in one of the screen's great epic romances. Directed by Oscar winner Sydney Pollack (TOOTSIE, THE FIRM), OUT OF AFRICA is the fascinating true story of Karen Blixen, a strong-willed woman who, with her philandering husband (Klaus Maria Brandauer from NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN), runs a coffee plantation in Kenya, circa 1914. To her astonishment, she soon discovers herself falling in love with the land, its people and a mysterious white hunter (Redford). The masterfully crafted, breathtakingly produced story of love and loss earned Oscars for the Best Picture, Director, Screenplay (based on material from another medium), Cinematography, Original Score, Art Direction (Set Decoration) and Sound.

LEGAL EAGLES (1986):
111 minutes
Robert Redford and Debra Winger star in this sophisticated comedy thriller about art fraud and murder, with Redford as a hard-nosed assistant district attorney and Winger as an imaginative defense attorney who combine their talents to defend Daryl Hannah, a spacey "performance artist" who is accused of theft and murder. The clashing attorneys get more than they bargained for as they come in contact with New York's fascinating art world and dangerous underworld. The delightful mix of romantic comedy and madcap slapstick co-stars Terence Stamp as a corrupt gallery owner and Brian Dennehy and features Rod Stewart's hit single, Love Touch.

SNEAKERS (1992):
120 minutes
Robert Redford leads an all-star cast in one of the most satisfying suspense films! Computer expert Martin Bishop (Redford) heads a team of renegade hackers - including a former CIA employee (Sidney Poitier), a gadgets wizard (Dan Aykroyd), a young genius (River Phoenix) and a blind soundman (David Strathairn) - who are routinely hired to test security systems. But Bishop's past comes back to haunt him when government agents blackmail the "sneakers" into carrying out a covert operation: tracking down an elusive black box. Along with his former girlfriend (Mary McDonnell), Bishop's team retrieves the box and makes a stunning discovery - the device can break into any computer system in the world. With factions from all sides willing to kill for the powerful box, Bishop and his team embark on their most dangerous assignment ever in this exhilarating high-tech caper from Phil Alden Robinson (Field of Dreams).
