Description

Platoon:
A triumph! A staggering study of war. Winner of four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and based on the first-hand experience of Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone, Platoon is powerful, intense and starkly brutal. Harrowingly realistic and completely convincing, it is a dark, unforgettable memorial to every soldier whose innocence was lost in the war-torn jungles of Vietnam. Chris Taylor (Charlie Sheen) is a young, naive American who, upon his arrival in Vietnam, quickly discovers that he must do battle not only with the Viet Cong, but also with the gnawing fear, physical exhaustion and intense anger growing within him. While his two commanding officers (Oscar-nominated Tom Berenger and Willem Dafoe) draw a fine line between the war they wage against the enemy and the one they fight with each other, the conflict, chaos and hatred permeate Taylor, suffocating his realities and numbing his feelings to man's highest value... life.
Windtalkers:
In the brutal World War II Battle of Saipan, Marines Joe Enders (Academy Award Winner Nicolas Cage) and Ox Anderson (Christian Slater) are assigned to protect Navajo American code talkers Ben Yahzee (Adam Beach) and Charlie Whitehorse (Roger Willie). Trained to use a secret military code based on their native language, it was the only one never broken by the Japanese and was key to winning the war in the Pacific. The Marines' mission was "to protect the code at all costs" but as the bonds of war are forged, how far will they go to stop the code falling into the enemies hands? Directed by John Woo (Face/Off, Mission Impossible 2), 'Windtalkers' is inspired by a true story of courage and sacrifice. Packed with superb action sequences, it is an exciting against-all-odds cinematic masterpiece.
Behind Enemy Lines:
In war there are some lines you should never cross. Behind Enemy Lines is a high-octane, visually spectacular, action-packed thrill ride, in the tradition of top gun, enemy of the state and speed starring academy award winner Gene Hackman and Owen Wilson. While on a routine reconnaissance mission, young and troublesome plane navigator, Chris Burnett (Owen Wilson) is shot down over enemy territory. When his pilot gets killed, Burnett, lost, in enemy territory, is hunted and struggles to survive the relentless pursuit of a ruthless secret police enforcer, a deadly tracker, and countless hostile troops. With time running out, Burnett's commanding officer, Admiral Leslie Reigart (Gene Hackman) defies his orders and carries out a desperate rescue mission.
