Fatal Vision
The crime stuns the public. The pregnant wife and two young daughters of Captain Jeffrey MacDonald, M.D., have just been brutally murdered. Could a dedicated doctor and brilliant militarist murder his own family in cold blood? Based on Joe McGinniss’s bestseller and boasting top-notch performances by Karl Malden (A Streetcar Named Desire), Eva Marie Saint (On the Waterfront), Barry Newman (The Lawyer), Gary Cole (In the Line of Fire) and Andy Griffith (A Face in the Crowd), Fatal Vision brings to life this extraordinary true-crime drama in a powerful, compelling miniseries event. After the longest hearing in military history, charges against the respected MacDonald (Cole) are dropped due to inconclusive evidence. Convinced of his guilt, however, his determined in-laws (Malden and Saint) fight for nearly ten years to re-open the case.
A suspenseful trial culminates in a gripping conclusion in the highly acclaimed Fatal Vision—one of the most publicized and thought-provoking cases in modern history. Nominated for 5 Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Drama/Comedy Special, and winner of Outstanding Supporting Actor for the mighty Malden.
The Martian Chronicles
Making contact was the beginning of the end… From the mind of legendary writer Ray Bradbury (Fahrenheit 451, Something Wicked This Way Comes) springs what is perhaps his most epic vision. Capturing mankind’s first venture into the colonization of another planet – and its tragic first contact with another species – The Martian Chronicles is a stunning achievement that will take you from the edge of your seat and to the stars. Earth is on the verge of extinction. To survive, mankind must find another place to live. And when three expeditions to Mars, headed by Col. John Wilder (Rock Hudson, Avalanche), find suitable conditions for relocations, humans pour in by the shipload, bringing the old evils of Earth with them. As Wilder begins to heed the lessons of the dying Martian civilization, can he save humanity from repeating its own doom?
