-'''The Cassandra Crossing''' is a action thriller in 1976 directed by George P. Cosmatos on based the book ''The Procane Chronicle'' from by Ross Thomas. Abner Procane ([[John Houseman]]), top L.A. burglar, finds that somebody stole his plans for next ambitious heist. He hires Raymond St. Ives ([[Charles Bronson]]), crime books writer, to negotiate the return of those documents. Amazingly, St. Ives fails to recognize who his real friends and enemies are in the course of his investigation, and it takes all his mental and physical resources to keep from being exterminated. One of the characters who isn't all that she seems is sexy Janet Whistler ([[Jacqueline Bisset]]).
