Clint Eastwood

Jonathan Hemlock is an art teacher and collector who finances his hobby by performing the odd sanction (assassination) for an obscure government bureau. He is forced to join an expedition to climb the treacherous Eiger in order to pursue a Russian killer. This 1975 Hollywood thriller has developed a cult following because of its authentic climbing sequences in which there were no special effects. Clint Eastwood did all his own stunts, feeling that he couldn't expect a stuntman to risk his life if he wasn't ready to risk his own.
