Gregory Peck (MacArthur), Omar Sharif (Lawrence of Arabia), and Anthony Quinn (R.P.M.) lead the cast of Behold a Pale Horse, a powerful drama from director Fred Zinnemann (The Day of the Jackal).

Twenty years after the Spanish Civil War, Republican guerilla Manuel (Peck) lives in exile in France. Francoist Captain Viñolas (Quinn) is tasked with capturing him, and senses an opportunity when Manuel’s mother (Mildred Dunnock) falls ill, but hasn’t counted on the involvement of priest Father Francisco (Sharif), who tries to protect Manuel and guide him away from his path to violence. 

Adapted by J P Miller (Days of Wine and Roses) from a novel by Emeric Pressburger (The Red Shoes), Behold a Pale Horse is a riveting tale of morality, betrayal, and resistance.
