Juggernaut
Richard Lester: The Running Jumping Pop Cinema Iconoclast
August 7 - 13, 2015
A tighter and generally superior addition to the ’70s all-star disaster cycle, Juggernaut tracks the efforts of a bomb-defusing team and Scotland Yard to prevent the sinking of a luxury ocean liner. With Richard Harris, Anthony Hopkins, Omar Sharif, and Ian Holm.
A tighter and generally superior addition to the ’70s all-star disaster cycle that included Airport, The Poseidon Adventure, and The Towering Inferno, Lester’s Juggernaut tracks the frantic activity aboard the luxury liner Britannic after a terrorist announces the vessel will be sunk at dawn the following day. Expertly cast in a rare action-hero role, Richard Harris is the bomb-defusing expert tasked with disarming the explosives. Meanwhile, on dry land, a Scotland Yard inspector (Anthony Hopkins), whose family is aboard the ship, races to discover the identity of the bomber known as “Juggernaut.” Inspired by a real-life bomb scare on the QE2, Juggernaut boasts a formidable star roster, including Omar Sharif as the captain and Ian Holm as the shipping line owner.
