Avalanche
1978, 91 minutes, Rated PG
Starring Rock Hudson and Mia Farrow, this all-star classic from the golden age of disaster epics sees a high society winter wonderland turn into a nightmare of destruction in the face of a brute barrage of plummeting snow and ice travelling at over 150mph!
Despite consistent warnings, smug resort developer David Shelby (Hudson) builds his kitsch highland palace at the foot of a mountain prone to avalanche and it's not long before the champagne swilling, bed-hopping ensemble cast are up to their necks in ice.
For eco-warrior and Shelby nemesis Nick Throne (Robert Forster), who's already having an affair with Hudson's winnowy ex-wife Caroline (Farrow), it's a case of 'I told you so.'
A story of passion, betrayal and improbable survival set amidst unmitigated destruction, Avalanche takes the 70s disaster genre to new, snow-capped heights.
