Quigley down under [videorecording (DVD)].

Western legends.

[videorecording (DVD)].

1 videodisc (120 min.) : sd., col. ; 12 cm.

A USA/Australia co-production.

"Tom Selleck gives the boldest performance of his career in this 'new style, revisionist western with the panoramic scope of a movie epic' (Los Angeles Times). Fierce gunfights, forbidding landscapes, breakneck chases -- all hallmarks of the classic western -- are reinvented in this hard-pounding actioner that 'revitalizes the genre' and comes out 'a sure winner' (The Hollywood Reporter). Arriving in Australia with nothing more than a saddle and his prized six-foot Sharps rifle, American sharpshooter Matthew Quigley thinks he's been hired to kill off wild dogs. But when he realizes, instead, that his mission is murder -- to 'eliminate' the Aborigines from a wealthy cattle baron's land -- Quigley refuses and quickly turns from hunter to hunted. Forced to wage a savage war against his former employer, Quigley proves that no one gets the best of a steely-eyed American gunfighter – no one, that is, except the mysterious beauty (Laura San Giacomo, sex, lies, & videotape) who rides by his side and captures his heart."--Container.
