Clint Eastwood Movie SetTHE ENFORCER When terrorists rob an arms warehouse and go on a bloody extortion spree, city leaders seek out Callahan, who's now teamed with a lady partner (Tyne Daly) with two jobs: tracking down the terrorists - and winning Harry's confidence. THE GAUNTLET Phoenix cop Ben Shockley's dream of breaking "the big case" has faded over time. His assignment to escort from Las Vegas "a nothing witness for a nothing trial" seems like another meaningless exercise. Until the fireworks start. Clint Eastwood runs The Gauntlet into an explosive movie embodying its title with a vengeance. The witness is a hardened hooker (Sondra Locke) whom everyone - including Vegas oddsmakers - wants dead. Trapped between both sides of the law, the two must survive an obstacle course of raging gunfire, blazing cars, swooping helicopters, murderous ambushes, crazed bikers and crooked police. Building to a ferocious finale that shoots an armored bus to smithereens with more than 8,000 bullets, The Gauntlet is a trip you can't miss.
ABSOLUTE POWER Who will believe the word of a career thief and ex-con who was on scene when a woman is killed - and that the man responsible is the U.S. President? Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman and Ed Harris headine a razor-edged suspense tale.
TRUE CRIME Boozer, skirt chaser, careless father. You could create your own list of reporter Steve Everett's faults but there's no time. A San Quentin Death Row prisoner is slated to die at midnight - a man Everett has suddenly realized is innocent. In his 21st film as diredctor and 41st as star, Clint Eastwood memorably plays Everett in True Crime, a savvy beat-the-clock thriller. A Suspense tale that tightens to nerve-frying intensity intercutting the parallel stories of the inmate and Everett's scramble to save him...and perhaps lift his own life out of the trash heap along the way. Everett is harried, determined and trying not to self-destruct. And the clock is ticking.
