Incorporating a nuanced view of one of the most relevant topics of our time, Fox's limited series THE GRID tackled the issue of international terrorism from multiple perspectives, including the victims of war, those fighting terror, and the perpetrators themselves. Unfolding with gritty realism and shot in a documentary style, the story opens with a deadly sarin attack in London that calls to action counter-terrorist agents in both the UK and the US. National Security Council Deputy Director Maren Jackson (Julianna Margulies, ER, EVELYN) puts together a clandestine operation made up of top agents in their fields. This includes FBI agent Max Canary (Dylan McDermott, THE PRACTICE, WONDERLAND) and CIA Middle Eastern analyst Raza Michaels (Piter Marek, BARBARIANS: A BATTLE FOR ROME). Meanwhile, on British soil, the investigation is led by MI5 inspector Derrek Jennings (Bernard Hill LORD OF THE RINGS) and MI6 Senior Agent Emily Tuthill (Jemma Redgrave, HOWARD'S END, BRAMWELL). As the team follows the trail that brings them ever closer to terrorist leader Muhammed, who is bent on the destruction of the Western world, they are faced with obstacles within their own ranks and even in their personal lives.DVD Features:Region 1Keep Case2-Disc SetDisc One: Hour 1 and 2Widescreen - 1.78Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - EnglishAdditional Release Material Deleted Scenes Audio Commentary - Mikael Solomon - Director& Tracey Alexander - Executive Producer Featurette - FACTUAL FICTIONDisc Two: Hour FourWidescreen - 1.78Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - EnglishAdditional Release Material Deleted Scenes Audio Commentary - Mikael Solomon - Director& Tracey Alexander - Executive Producer Featurette - THE GLOBE OF THE GRID

THE BETSY, directed by Daniel Petrie and based on Harold Robbins`s sordid potboiler about several generations of an American car manufacturing dynasty, stars Laurence Olivier as 90-year-old Loren Hardeman, who rules the family with an iron fist. The clan, nonetheless, is constantly involved in intrigues and affairs ranging from adultery to abuse of power. Although Loren
has passed along the family business to his grandson, Loren Hardeman III (Robert Duvall), he has one idea that he is desperate to realize. The Betsy is Loren`s dream car, named after his doting great-granddaughter (Kathleen Beller), and he hires Angelo Perino (a young and seductive Tommy Lee Jones) to help him secretly create the economical, efficient vehicle. Angelo is an injured race car driver who diligently works to design the car while seducing Betsy and having an affair with Loren III`s mistress (a terrifically haughty Lesley-Anne Down). But the money-grubbing auto industry isn`t too fond of Loren`s secret pursuit, and their desire to sabotage him soon sets off more melodramatic action than a family can handle. This soap opera, brimming over with intrigue and seduction has been compared to television`s DYNASTY and other spicy tales of romance and big money power plays. Petrie`s film is certainly ripe with scandal, melodrama, and an enjoyably campy all-star cast, including Katharine Ross, Jane Alexander, and Paul Rudd. THE BETSY also features music composed by the legendary John Barry.

This strangely beautiful silent film from D.W. Griffith is also one of his more grim efforts; an indictment of child abuse and the violence of western society. An idealistic Asian (Richard Barthelemess) travels to the west in hopes of spreading the Buddha's message of peace to the round-eyed sons of turmoil and strife. Instead he winds up a disillusioned, opium-smoking shopkeeper in London's squalid Limehouse District. Down the street, a poor waif (Lillian Gish) suffers horrific abuse at the hands of her boxer father (Donald Crisp). When fortune delivers the battered girl into the Asian's tender care, a strange and beautiful love blossoms between them, a love far too fragile to survive their brutal environment. Griffith directed with his unique blend of poetry and realism, and Miss Gish delivers a typically first-rate performance as the girl; the result is a work of art that's both eloquent and crushing. The film was originally presented with color tinting and a musical score composed by Griffith, both of which may vary in different video and film versions.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseOriginal Orchestral Score

Connery portrays Barley Blair -- a lonely, middle aged, hard-drinking, London publisher -- who has a love for all things Russian. While in Russia, Barley captures the attention of a daring Russian scientist (Klaus Maria Brandauer), who attempts to send him a top secret manuscript disclosing the secrets of Russian military defense, which, if published in the West could alter the global
balance of power. However, the manuscript falls into the hands of the British C.I.A., and they coerce Blair into traveling to the Soviet Union to find out the identity of the manuscript's author and the validity behind the secret military codes. Reluctantly, Blair arrives in the cold landscape, hoping to complete his mission and leave as soon as possible.
