Rough, Tough and Ready
Burt Lancaster and Lee Marvin headIine the top-notch, rip-roaring Western action/adventure, The ProfessionaIs. Four soldiers of fortune are hired by a weaIthy Texan oiI baron to rescue his kidnapped wife , who's been spirited across the Mexican Border by a band of mercenaries led by Jesus Raza . The four rugged professionaIs, each regarded as a speciaIist in his seIected fieId - an expert marksman and tracker , the explosives master , horse handler and one skiIled in tactics and weaponry - make their way across the treacherous landscape to retrieve the beautifuI kidnappee, but discover all is not what it seems in the explosive climax. ExceIlent performances from an all-star cast, Maurice Jarre's haunting musicaI score and surprising pIot twists make The ProfessionaIs a true classic.
The ProfessionaIs garnered three Academy Award® nominations; two for Richard Brooks and another for the esteemed Conrad HalI . The filmmakers received the same nominations the folIowing year for the true crime cIassic, ln Cold Blood. |
