Beyond The Horizon Lies The Secret To A New Begining

In a future where the Earth is covered with water, the human race struggles to survive on dilapidated boats and makeshift floating cities called atolls. But some still cling to legends of a mythical place called “Dryland.” Seeking clues to its whereabouts, the evil Deacon (Dennis Hopper) attacks the atoll which houses young Enola (Tina Majorino) and her adoptive mother Helen (Jeanne Tripplehorn). When a mysterious drifter/adventurer known as the Mariner (Costner) is caught up in their struggle, he finds himself catapulted into an explosive war of good vs. evil with the open sea as his battlefield. Only later will he discover Enola’s wondrous secret — a revelation that may change the destiny of all mankind.

Columbia Pictures Western Classics

Charlton Heston and Richard Harris are unwilling allies in director Sam Peckinpah’s spectacular Western adventure.

When Apaches massacre a U.S. cavalry troop in New Mexico, Major Dundee (Heston) assembles an army of cutthroats, renegades and Confederate prisoners led by his hated counterpart, Captain Tyreen (Harris). Dundee and his rebel band pursue the Indians into Mexico, where they battle the French army as well as murderous Apaches. Aiding a ravaged village, the men are honored with a fiesta, and the Major finds solace with beautiful Teresa Santiago (Senta Berger). But this idyll is only temporary. In an unforgettable climax, the two officers put aside their fierce rivalry and lead their troops to confront the French in a bloody showdown.

From the box:

…they didn’t make history, they stole it!

This adventure-fantasy-comedy is a wildly imaginative trip to a new dimension in time and space crammed with humor, action and spectacular special effects. A young time traveler (Craig Warnock) encounters Napoleon, Robin Hood and King Agamemnon, as well as the sinking of the Titanic, in this spaced-out romp through the heavens and history, produced and directed by Monty Python’s Terry Gilliam. The musical score by ex-Beatle George Harrison adds to the excitement of castles, legends, battles between good and evil and the capricious rewriting of history.
