Oscar-winners Lee Marvin and Ernest Borgnine face off in an epic battle of wills in this riveting thriller that is directed by Robert Aldrich . Boasting gripping, action-packed suspense with one of the most spectacular fight scenes ever witnessed on a train, Emperor of the North is one beast of a film! Set on the Pacific Northwest railways at the height of the Depression, Emperor of the North pits a crafty, train-hopper called A-No.1, who takes a young drifter under his wing as they come up against Shack - the cruel, bum-intolerant conductor of Engine 19. Both parties try to outwit each other but when pride turns their determination into obsession, the clash escalates into a fight-to-the-finish that only one man can survive
