    One of the most interesting and dramatic roles I have seen Richard Harris in. Left for dead, Harris travels across the country side to find the man who left him alone to die, and through his journey witnesses both death and life through his own eyes on other people. What drives t...( read more)his man to the end to keep going? Reminded me of the Tom Hanks film, CAST AWAY, but with a different setting.
    One of the top Richard Harris classics!

    I like this movie, even though, it is an old movie. "Zack Bass', is actually based on a real person and the event is based on an actual event; just some Hollywood embellishing.
