Summary: A young horse handler, Dave Power, leads his horse Archer to victory in the first ever Melbourne Cup. Travelling 600 miles over rugged terrain, ARCHER'S ADVENTURE tells of the pair's amazing exploits.

ARCHER'S ADVENTURE charts the history-making journey of Dave Power and his trusty racehorse Archer, who won the Melbourne Cup--Australia's biggest horse race--two years in a row. In 1862, Archer became the first ever racehorse to ever achieve such a feat. The duo’s 600 mile trek across rugged countryside was far from easy and ARCHER'S ADVENTURE captures all the excitement and fervour of the first ever Melbourne Cup--one of the most important events in Australian sporting history. Aussie superstar Nicole Kidman can be seen in an early supporting role.

Let's see--he has been Han Solo in three films and Indiana Jones in three more. So why shouldn't Harrison Ford take on a new continuing character in Tom Clancy's CIA analyst Jack Ryan? In this film, directed by Phillip Noyce, Ford picked up the baton when Alec Baldwin, who played Ryan in The Hunt for Red October, opted for a Broadway role instead. In this film, Ryan and his family are on vacation when Ryan saves a member of the British royal family from attack by Irish terrorists. The next thing he knows, the Ryan clan has been targeted by the same terrorists, who invade his Maryland home. The film can't shed all of Clancy's lumbering prose, or his techno-dweeb fascination with spy satellites and the like. But no one is better than Ford at righteous heroism--and Sean Bean makes a suitably snakey villain. --Marshall Fine
