A starring vehicle for the always unlikely movie star Charles Bronson. Breakheart Pass is adopted from the novel of the same name by the author Alistair MacLean.
The film looks good, it was photographed by Lucien Ballard who did his best work in the western genre with Sam Peckinpah. It was final film from 2nd unit director/stunt coordinator "Yakima" Canutt. The director was Tom Gries a competent film director.
If you've seen or read any Alistair MacLean thrillers you can expect lots of twists intermixed with action and Breakheart Pass follows his usual formula.
The film has a good cast of old pros, Richard Crenna, Ben Johnson, Charles Durning, Ed Lauter and as usual Bronson's wife Jill Ireland. It runs a quick 95 minutes.
