In Alaska, in 1924, fishermen such as Jim Kimmerly keep a watchful eye on their government-controlled salmon traps, mindful of pirates who roam the waters. While heading home in his boat one day, Jim and helper Joe, both reformed pirates, reminisce about former partner Matt Kelly, who left the area after the government clamped down on illegal salmon hauls. Upon docking, Jim learns that a boat owned by a fisherman in the local co-operative was attacked by pirates, whose suspected leader is cannery owner Verne Williams. Hoping to prevent a violent confrontation, Jim tries to negotiate a deal with Williams, suggesting that the co-operative would pay to store half of its fish in his cannery if he put an end to the piracy. Williams, who deals in stolen fish because the co-operative has refused his low buying price, denies any criminal involvement and declines Jim's offer. Jim then learns from inn owner Jackson that Matt has sent a letter to Jackson's daughter Nicky, to whom Jim is engaged. Nicky reads the letter in front of Jim and admits that Matt, a former sweetheart, is returning soon and still has feelings for her. Worried that she will not be able to resist Matt's charms, Nicky asks Jim to marry her immediately, but Jim refuses to force the issue. In another port, meanwhile, Matt is released from jail, where he served six months for poaching seals, and after losing over $200 playing roulette, skips out on paying for the repair of his boat, the Who Cares . Matt sails back to Nicky, who greets him warmly but insists she is not interested in him romantically. To prove otherwise, Matt kisses her passionately and lets Jim know he intends to pursue her. Despite Matt's challenge, Jim is gracious toward Matt, his friend since childhood, and offers to get him into the co-op. Complaining that he owes $1,000 for the boat repair, Matt borrows $50 from Jim, then uses it to buy Nicky a birthday ring, the same gift Jim has bought for her. Later that day, while Jim, Matt and the other fishermen are on a salmon run, Jim starts to unload his surplus fish onto an iceberg and is startled when Matt's boat whistle suddenly blares. The loud noise sets off an avalanche and Jim's boat is destroyed. Although Jim accepts Matt's lie that he blew the whistle accidentally, the other fishermen are suspicious and, back in the village, demand that Matt be ousted from the co-op. Matt then is greeted by Wycoff, the boat repairman who, unknown to Matt, learned about Matt's whereabouts from Williams. Wycoff claims Matt's boat as payment, but as he is pulling away from the dock, Matt jumps on board and knocks him out. With a bound Wycoff, Matt sails to Williams' hideout and offers his services in exchange for $1,000 to pay off Wycoff. Williams agrees, and after the repairman is sent on his way, Williams and his men prepare to raid some salmon traps. In the village, meanwhile, Nicky anxiously awaits Matt's appearance at her birthday party and admits to Jim that she is still unsure about her feelings. When word comes about suspicious boat activities near the salmon traps, Jim heads out to sea with the other fishermen. Williams and Matt manage to escape in Williams' big boat, but two thieves left behind in a rowboat are shot and killed by the fishermen. After delivering the bodies to Williams' hideout, Jim is accosted in the village by the co-op fishermen, who accuse Matt of being in league with Williams. Publicly Jim defends Matt, but later, in his room, questions Matt about his recent whereabouts. Matt denies any wrongdoing and insists that Jim is merely jealous. The two men brawl and after they both fall off the dock, Matt gets Jim to admit to Nicky that he was fighting over her and wants to get rid of Matt. Unhappy with Jim, Nicky agrees to consider Matt's proposition that they leave together that night, and Matt goes to Williams' hideout, demanding that they destroy the co-op cannery and use the distraction to raid all the salmon traps. Williams sends some of his men to set fire to the cannery, and during the attack, Joe is fatally stabbed. While most of the fishermen try to contain the fire, Jim catches up to Williams' boat and exchanges gunfire with the pirates. After Jim shoots Matt in the shoulder, the pirates escape, and Jim returns to shore and tells Nicky the truth about Matt. Nicky then is surprised in her room by the wounded Matt but refuses to run off with him after informing him about Joe's murder. Matt sneaks back to Williams' hideout in a stolen motorboat and announces that Jim and the others will soon be coming after them. Armed with rifles and an automatic harpoon, Williams and Matt take off in Williams' boat and attack Jim's boat when it catches up to them. Matt stops Williams from shooting Jim, however, and while struggling with him, Williams shoots Matt. Though badly wounded, Matt sounds the boat's whistle and steers the boat toward the icebergs. Williams' boat capsizes in the ensuing avalanche, and later on shore, Jim acknowledges Matt's sacrifice as Nicky embraces him.

1884. Cultured Martha Evans, just widowed en route, and her young adult daughter Hilary, have just arrived at the Stockmen's Exhibition in St. Louis. Their purpose is to introduce Hereford cattle into the US, they having brought a number of head from their native England for sale. One in particular, a bull named Vindicator, who Hilary raised herself, is to be sold for the express purpose of breeding with American cattle, such as the Longhorn, something so far untested. Many of the potential buyers and onlookers at the exhibition have no interest in the unusual - to them - cattle, while some have interest having nothing to do with the cattle themselves. Regardless, meat packer Charles Ellsworth purchases Vindicator on behalf on his business partner, grizzled Scotsman Alexander Bowen, a Texas rancher. Ellsworth hires cowboy Sam "Bulldog" Burnett to transport Vindicator to Texas to Bowen's "fort". Due to trusting no one to do what they say, Martha and Hilary, instead of traveling immediately back to England as was their plan, instead decide to accompany Sam to Texas to ensure that Vindicator is used for the reason they sold him. They have every right to be concerned as everyone involved has his own individual agenda. If Sam, Martha, Hilary and Vindicator are able to make it to Bowen's, their individual perspectives may change with changing circumstances.—Huggo

Using the torture and death in 2002 of an innocent Afghan taxi driver as the touchstone, this film examines changes after 9/11 in U.S. policy toward suspects in the war on terror. Soldiers, their attorneys, one released detainee, U.S. Attorney John Yoo, news footage and photos tell a story of abuse at Bagram Air Base, Abu Ghraib, and Guantanamo Bay. From Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Gonzalez came unwritten orders to use any means necessary. The CIA and soldiers with little training used sleep deprivation, sexual assault, stress positions, waterboarding, dogs and other terror tactics to seek information from detainees. Many speakers lament the loss of American ideals in pursuit of security.—

The Cyclone Rocket Company is a military contractor building missiles for the U.S. Air Force. The company also produces the highly volatile rocket fuel used in the missiles. During a test, a missile explodes. For safety reasons, the government decides to move the company from its current location, nearby an army base and small town, to a new remote location. However, the plant's dangerous chemicals must be moved by truck to the new location via secondary unpaved roads bypassing all inhabited areas, towns and communities. The move must be completed fast and the plant must be operational in three days, in order to maintain its government contract. Three trucks are selected to transport the dangerous rocket fuels. Short on drivers for such a dangerous assignment, the company hires a motley crew of desperate men to drive the trucks through rough terrain to the new location. Each truck has a driver and a helper. Each man is promised five thousand dollars as payment upon successful delivery of the trucks and cargo. The six men are: recently unemployed maverick trucker Mitch Barton, company representative and fuel developer scientist George Lawrence, retired Marine sergeant Frank Miller, amiable drunk Pat Farley, compulsive gambler Ben and expert mechanic Joe. On the day of departure, a drunken Pat is replaced by his younger brother Ken who is a hot-rod race car driver. After the departure, each man explains his motivation for taking the job and what he will do with his pay. As expected, the three-truck convoy runs into trouble.—nufs68

5 Against the House

5 Against the House (1955)

Aldo Ray

Frank Albertson

There is money missing from a bank job, an attractive model, an insurance investigator, and two extremely dangerous thugs. James Vanning (Aldo Ray) portrays an innocent man on the run, being pursued by the criminals who stupidly misplaced their take from the crime and think he has it or knows where it is hidden. Add model Marie Gardner (Anne Bancroft) who crossed paths with nice guy Vanning, while he is on the run. This all adds up to a thriller wherein the viewer is drawn into the story and becomes part of the drama. When Marie says "things that really happen are difficult to explain" it captures the theme of this film. A nice girl helps a nice guy, who is innocent and is drawn into the drama. As tension mounts she says: "I am always meeting the wrong man, and it leads to doomed relationships." Marie inadvertently leads Vanning into the hands of the villains. However, she is a pseudo-femme fatale, innocently involved in the intrigue and, like the viewer, is gradually drawn into the plot. Beside one of the more chilling murder scenes for that era, the film has a three part flashback, which takes the viewer from a cityscape and menacing oil wells to the snow-covered plains of Wyoming and back to the streets of Hollywood. The interplay of high contrast images makes it worth seeing, but the story keeps the viewer engaged.—Noir-Fan-en-Suisse
