After being convinced to join in a criminal heist with an old frie nd and his wife that takes place in San Francisco at Alcatraz Prison\, W alker is shot \"point-blank\" by his friend who wants the money and Walk er's wife all for himself.

Of co urse there's much more to this crime film once you start scratching at i ts stylish surface. \n\nAbout the film\, director John Boorman said \"Th is film is really in one sense about Lee Marvin. It's about him as a cha racter. He went out to the war and he was a sensitive seventeen year-old boy and you know\, he was brutalized and in a way he was expressing him self through violence. He was always trying to recapture his humanity th at he felt he had lost and that's really what the story is about. It's a bout a man who comes back from the dead and tries to find his humanity.\ "\n\nAfter appearing in countless war films\, westerns and crime dramas\ , Lee Marvin won his first Oscar in 1965 for \"Cat Ballou\" and followed it up with a starring role in the extremely successful movie \"The Dirt y Dozen.\" Hollywood was impressed with Marvin's success and they offere d him complete creative control over his next film. That film would be t he stylish 1967 Neo-noir crime thriller \"Point Blank.\"\nThe film was d irected by the talented British filmmaker John Boorman who Marvin had me t in London while filming \"The Dirty Dozen.\" Boorman approached Lee Ma rvin with a poorly adapted script of a pulp novel called The Hunter writ ten by Richard Stark (pen name for Donald E. Westlake) and expressed int erest in making a film with him. Marvin hated the original script\, but he wanted to make the film with Boorman so the two men spent many long e venings in London working out the details and exploring creative concept s before finally plunging ahead with their proposal.\n\nDuring this proc ess \"Point Blank\" became a very personal project for Lee Marvin.

PacifiCorp's four dams prevent the Pacific salmon\ , which the tribes have relied on for thousands of years\, from returnin g to their natural spawning grounds. Now only a few thousand fish return to the Klamath each year. The dams are also believed to have created a toxic water flow that is responsible for the largest fish kill in U.S. h istory. \"Upstream Battle\" details the long struggle to remove the dams \, but more importantly delves into the lives affected by the loss of th is precious resource. Kempas delivers a potent story with a humanistic t ouch as we witness a struggle that may result in the largest dam removal project in U.S. history.
