A Breed Apart

In this 1984 film directed by Philippe Mora, the story unfolds on a remote island where a reclusive Vietnam War veteran, played by Rutger Hauer, is fiercely protective of a rare breed of eagles.

The film explores themes of conservation and the clash between personal ethics and greed.
