Billy Ray Smith (Anthony Edwards) is a schoolteacher in a small Texas town, never happier than when he's reading the adventures of Kid Durango and dreaming of being a Western hero. But Billy's dreams become a hilarious nightmare when the legendary outlaw El Diablo rides into town, robbing the bank and kidnapping Nettie, a pretty young student. Billy sets off in a lukewarm pursuit, but, unable to ride a horse or shoot a gun, he doesn't pose much of a threat - until he meets up with renegade gunman, Thomas Van Leek (Louis Gossett, Jr.). Van Leek is just the man to teach the teacher how to handle a gun and ride like a man. Joined by Van Leek's cohorts, including none other than Kid Durango, Billy Ray sets off in hot pursuit ready to confront his nemesis El Diablo and save young Nettie from his evil clutches. Has Billy Ray the makings of a true Western hero? It's shoot-out-and-see time in a Wild West that's never been wilder.MPAA : PG-13.DVD

Directed by David Greene, Gilbert Moses, John Erman, Marvin J. Chomsky. Produced by David L. Wolper, Stan Margulies. LeVar Burton, Louis Gossett, Jr., John Amos, Lynda Day George, Olivia Cole, Edward AsnerThis award-winning six-part historical epic was one of the first examples of the miniseries format and one of the highest-rated television programs in broadcasting history. Based on the best-selling novel by author Alex Haley, Roots chronicles the progress of Haley's own family across many generations, from the kidnapping of an African warrior by American slave traders to eventual post-Civil War freedom. Kunta Kinte (LeVar Burton) is a young tribesman of coastal Africa who has passed the rituals marking his transition into manhood. Searching for wood to build a drum, he is set upon by slavers who sell him in the United States after a nightmarish Atlantic crossing. Defiant, Kunta refuses to consider himself a slave, despite some sage advice from his mentor, the more mature Fiddler (Louis Gossett Jr.). As the years pass, the aging Kunta (John Amos) is hobbled for his repeated escape attempts. Realizing he'll never return to Africa, Kunta settles down, becoming husband to Bell (Madge Sinclair) and father to Kizzy (Leslie Uggams), a girl infused with her father's independent spirit. Sold and then raped by her new master, Kizzy has a son, Chicken George (Ben Vereen), a happy go lucky cockfighting expert who uses his skills to buy his freedom. George paves the way for his children, the great-grandchildren of Kunta Kinte, who finally become free in the aftermath of the Civil War. Roots (1977) was followed by a sequel miniseries, Roots: The Next Generations (1979), and a made-for-television feature, Roots: The Gift (1988), as well as another telefilm based on the family history of the Haley clan, Queen (1993). Blu-ray, region 1, widescreen presentation, Dolby Digital 5.0.
