I could watch this movie a thousand times and never tire of it. I'm with the previous reviewers in that this is also one of my all time favorite movies and I also can't understand why it hasn't been offered on DVD!!!!!! Ughh!! Oh well, there's still hope. This movie centers around a gold mine above the Stikine river in the Cassiar mountain range of northern British Columbia. Nick Mancuso and Kim Basinger play two friends of a MolyCo Geologist who has disappeared, they begin looking for him in this area based on various clues. On the quest for their friend they cross paths with Charlton Heston playing a grizzled old Irish prospector who still works the mine. The action, suspense, and surprises that ensue will keep you on the edge of your seat. The mountain scenery is wonderful and Kim Basinger makes the scenery equally as wonderful inside the mine. If you are an aviation fanatic like me you will also want to check out the crash landing of the floatplane to see how quickly it got away from the pilot as soon as he touched down. As mentioned by a previous reviewer the movie was rewritten slightly to accommodate the unintentional crash. I highly recommend this movie. My favorite line from the film: "You shouldn't aughta done that laddie!"
A Personal Note from Robin
There are several scenes where Charlton Heston binds and gags Kim Basinger -- Great videography!
