The greatest adventure stories of all time spring to life in this set, a massive collection of A&E's finest historical features, including HORATIO HORNBLOWER, BENEDICT ARNOLD: A QUESTION OF HONOR, NAPOLEON, SHACKLETON, and many more. With powerful performances by award-winning actors ranging from John Malkovich to Isabella Rossellini, these powerful films transport viewers from the turbulent seas of the Napoleonic Wars to the exhilaratingly empty expanses of Antarctica. THE ADVENTURE COLLECTION also offers special episodes of A&E's Biography series to further illuminate the lives of the most daring individuals in history. See individual titles for additional details. [More]

[DVD Details]
 
 
  • The action and excitement doesn't get any better than this: THE ADVENTURE COLLECTION, a 14-disc DVD set, dramatically brings to life some of the most fascinating and courageous individuals in all of history and literature.
  • In these riveting, feature-length A&E favorites--Benedict Arnold: A Question of Honor, Horatio Hornblower, Longitude, The Lost Battalion, Napoleon, and Shackleton--flesh-and-blood characters use their spirit, curiousity, derring-do, and cleverness to battle seemingly insurmountable obstacles and endure until they triumph. Such world-class actors as Aidan Quinn, Kelsey Grammer, Jeremy Irons, John Malkovich, Kenneth Branagh, Rick Schroder, Isabella Rossellini, Ioan Gruffudd, and Gerard Depardieu give powerful performances of struggle and success amid the battlefields of World War I, the high seas of the Napoleonic Wars, the frozen wastes of Antarctica, and the scientific community of the eighteenth century.
