Legendary film maker Cecil B. DeMille directs the classic big screen duo of Barbara Stanwyck and Joel McCrea in UNION PACIFIC (Sunday 5th, 7pm), an explosive Western about the struggle to build America’s first transcontinental railroad.
It’s epic, action-packed entertainment as Jeff Butler is hired by the Union Pacific Railroad to root out the saboteurs who’ve been launching savage attacks on the construction of the first transcontinental railway line. He discovers an extensive network of criminals bent on stopping the train, including his former pal Dick Allen and gamblers Sid Campeau and Jack Cordray. Amongst a treacherous terrain Jeff and Dick also compete for the love of a brave postmistress, Mollie, and the fate of a railroad line which will change all their lives forever.
