Description

Based on the first of Kenneth Robeson's 181 adventure-packed Doc Savage books, Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze hits the screen with all its gee-whiz, gung-ho spirit intact. And its bold protagonist, who along with having a Herculean body is also a surgeon, linguist and inventor, remains determined to do right to all and wrong to no one. Ron Ely (TV's Tarzan) plays the strapping Savage in this high-camp, big- heroics tale of his trek into the Valley of the Vanished to confront the power-hungry Captain Seas (Paul Wexler). And behind the camera are pros who know how to get the most of this entertainment bronze mine: veteran fantasy film producer George Pal (The War of the Worlds, The Time Machine) and director Michael Anderson (Around the World in 80 Days, Logan's Run).

Description

Richard Harris reprises his role as John Morgan, known as Horse, in the Irvin Kershner (Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back) directed sequel to A Man Called Horse. Morgan returns to help the Yellow Hands Sioux tribe when they are forced off their sacred ground by government backed trappers. John must devise a plan to regain a stronghold in order to return power to the disconsolate Yellow Hand by taking action against those who have enslaved and murdered members of the tribe. Joining Harris on screen are Gale Sondergaard (Anthony Adverse), Geoffrey Lewis (Bronco Billy) and William Lucking (Erin Brockovich). The Return of a Man Called Horse, photographed by five-time Academy Award nominee for Best Cinematographer Owen Roizman (The French Connection, The Exorcist) features a score by two-time Academy Award nominee Laurence Rosenthal (Becket, Man of La Mancha).
