Broken Arrow
The Story is so simple and typical of an american writer, 2 Air Force pilots are pitted against each other in a race to recover two stolen nuclear warheads.It makes you wonder what realy happens over in america, they seem to lose more nuclear weapons than i care to imagine!!! What transpires is a Fast Paced action adventure that makes you wonder what incredibel feat will the main stars (Travolta, ... ...added a few myself during watching!(Namely after the scene on top of the train, i added "It's been a while since anyone has shot between her legs")

The best way to review this is each film seperately, so here goes:

The Siege
This was the main film that i was looking to purchase when i brought the boxset, mainly due to it's leading cast of Washington and Willis. The plot is set in New York and terrorists are beginning a bloody campaign on the streets and it is down to a FBI agent and U.S. Army General to discover who they are and stop them. Explosions galore and unfortunately for the terrorists they don't get the twin towers in this one! Good Film, Good entertainment!
Director:- Edward Zwick Cast include's:- Bruce Willis, Denzel Washington, Annette Bening, Tony Shalhoub Run Time:- 111mins approx
Chain Reaction
This film has lots of great bits, namely miss Weisz! And is good entertainment! As with the previous films in this boxset it is fast paced, edge of the seat suspense. The plot is set around a scientific experiment to produce an inexhaustable energy supply, (really!!!) and the big wigs of the power industry ain't to happy to supply free energy for free! Murder and espionage ensue, along with a hugh explosion which nearly takes out the main characters! Had it and the film could have ended... but they didn't so that left me oggling Ms Weisz for a while longer! Good film, great entertainment!
Director:- Andrew Davis Cast include's:- Keanu Reeves, Morgan Freeman, Rachel Weisz Run Time:- 102mins approx
All the films are very enjoyable, and well worth a long evening in with your feet up on the sofa! And to be able to buy all 3 in 1 just makes sense! Enjoy.

DVD Description
Features the action films BROKEN ARROW, THE SIEGE, and CHAIN REACTION. In BROKEN ARROW, the title refers to a military term for a nuclear warhead that has been stolen--and villainous Air Force pilot Vic Deakins has done just that. In fact, he's pilfered two bombs, in an effort to extract a huge amount of cash from the government in exchange for their safe return. However, there's a fly in the ambitious thief's ointment: Riley Hale, Vic's former co-pilot, whom Vic thought he had killed when he robbed the bombs. Helping Riley is gutsy female Park Ranger Terry Carmichael. Together the duo use all the artillery, ammo, vehicles, and gumption they can muster, as they risk life and limb to thwart Vic and his vile gang. In THE SIEGE, a crowded bus becomes the first victim of an explosion in a campaign of terror which begins on the streets of Washington. An FBI agent and a US Army General have to find out who is responsible and put an end to the violence. In CHAIN REACTION, Eddie, a student machinist, gets involved in a maze of government cover-ups, espionage and murder. Eddie and Lily, another member of his team, realise that their only hope lies with a powerful bureaucrat.
