Emperor of the North 1973 Trailer

Available on DVD from Oscar®-winners Lee Marvin (The Wild One) and Ernest Borgnine (Marty) face off in an epic battle of wills in this riveting thriller that is directed by Robert Aldrich (The Dirty Dozen). Boasting gripping, action-packed suspense with one of the most spectacular fight scenes ever witnessed on a train, Emperor of the North is one beast of a film! Set on the Pacific Northwest railways at the height of the Depression, Emperor of the North pits a crafty, train-hopper called A-No.1 (Marvin), who takes a young drifter (Carradine) under his wing as they come up against Shack (Borgnine) - the cruel, bum-intolerant conductor of Engine 19. Both parties try to outwit each other but when pride turns their determination into obsession, the clash escalates into a fight-to-the-finish that only one man can survive… Starring Lee Marvin Ernest Borgnine Keith Carradine Director Robert Aldrich
