Adventure movies are hard to come by these days--they've been replaced by action movies, which favor fast cars and big explosions over the dangers of nature and explorations of human character. Breakheart Pass stars Charles Bronson as a mysterious petty criminal on the Western frontier. After being caught cheating at cards, he's arrested and held on a military transport train heading through the Rocky Mountains toward a fort on the coast, a fort stricken with diphtheria and in desperate need of the medical supplies on the train. But there's a conspiracy afoot--people on the train keep getting killed or disappearing--and the situation at the fort isn't what it seems either. Alistair MacLean adapted the screenplay from his own novel, and it's a well-plotted, efficient piece of work, made more compelling by a cast of solid character actors, ranging from Charles Durning (The Sting, Tootsie), Richard Crenna (Body Heat), and Ben Johnson (Oscar winner for The Last Picture Show) to guys whose faces you'll recognize, even if their names don't sound familiar. Breakheart Pass isn't The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, and Bronson isn't Humphrey Bogart, but the movie is a lean adventure flick with an outstanding score by Jerry Goldsmith. (Trivia buffs will catch Sam Elliot and Sally Kirkland in bit parts.) --Bret Fetzer

Breakheart Pass [VHS] (1968)
Starring: Gian Maria Volontè, Klaus Kinski Director: Damiano Damiani
I was expecting a movie by Gian Maria Volontè.But the picture shows Charles Bronson. And starring is Charles Bronson.
Gian Maria Volontè is italian and Charles Bronson is american.You can't mistaken one for another.
Very poor job of amazon.com

Something's not right at isolated Fort Humbolt and diphtheria may be the least of the problems. Breakheart Pass is based on the adventure thriller by Alistair MacLean, who also wrote the screenplay. It's not bad as a Bronson vehicle except for its excesses: An obvious 1970s score glued on a movie that's set a century earlier; one action set piece after another, most a lot of fun but so many that the storyline becomes just the excuse for the set pieces; and corny directorial indulgences that have ...

Charles Bronson plays a convicted murdered who is being transported on a military train that is carrying medical supplies to an Army fort that is in the midst of a diphtheria epidemic. Other passengers on the train include the governor, his fiance, a US marshal, a priest, a doctor, and an army officer. Things are not what they seem as a complex plot is slowly revealed. This is the kind of Western that anyone who likes Westerns or action films can watch over and over again. Is this a `great' film? ... Read More

So I dig it muchly when the film takes place on a train. And if that same film also crosses over into the whodunit genre, well, so much the better. BREAKHEART PASS, released in 1975, is actually a western mystery, starring Charles Bronson, he of the rugged frame and the tough, careworn features. And, because what's a Bronson flick without lovely Jill Ireland, she shows up, too, looking all nice.
Alistair Maclean offers up the screenplay (adapted from his novel), about a train in the Old West ... Read More

Good, but not as good as other A.McLeans stories. Bronson has had much better parts.
