Clint Eastwood Four-movie Collection (Box Set) [DVD]

Collection of four classic Clint Eastwood films. In 'High Plains Drifter' (1973) the unwelcome arrival of a stranger (Eastwood) in the town of Lagos causes resentment and fear among the locals. However, when they come under threat from a band of escaped convicts, it is to the stranger that the townsfolk turn for salvation. He agrees to help and sets about teaching the people the art of self defence. In 'Joe Kidd' (1972) former bounty hunter Joe Kidd (Eastwood) is recruited by wealthy New Mexico landowner Frank Harlan (Robert Duvall) to help deal with an uprising led by Mexican revolutionary Luis Chama (John Saxon). Although reluctant to get involved at first, Kidd finally agrees when Harlan informs him that Chama has raided his own ranch while on a rampage through the county. In 'Two Mules for Sister Sara' (1969), after turning up in French-controlled New Mexico in the hope of making a quick buck, gunslinger Hogan (Eastwood) shows his noble nature by saving the helpless Sara (Shirley MacLaine) from being attacked by a gang of bandits. The unlikely couple agree to team up with Mexican revolutionaries in an attempt to take control of the French garrison nearby and claim their share of the camp's many riches. Finally in 'Coogan's Bluff' (1968), Arizona deputy Walt Coogan (Eastwood) is sent to New York to escort a prisoner home but the prisoner is not ready to be transferred back to Arizona and so Coogan cuts a few corners. However, this helps the prisoner escape and after he clashes with Lieutenant McElroy (Lee J. Cobb), Coogan is ordered back to Arizona. Unwilling to give up his pursuit of the prisoner, however, Coogan decides to take matters into his own hands.
