Sammon, the author of: Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner, Conan the Phenomenon, and The Making of Starship Troopers.And much more!“Soldier, like many great films—Citizen Kane, It’s a Wonderful Life, Bonnie and Clyde—was dissed by the cognoscenti when it was first released. Danny Stewart saw it for what it was: an inspired blitzkrieg of special effects set against a dystopian nightmare, with cathartic possibilities. Featuring a career-defining performance by Kurt Russell that elevates the robotic—finally—into something human (if not super-human). Stewart puts it into the tradition of its classic forbears and makes a case for it being seen in their light. He places the part-Shane, part-Blade Runner, part-Terminator, part-Rocky, part-Unforgiven mongrel up where it belongs, in a book that never stints on research. With a plethora of interviews featuring almost everyone responsible for making it into the audio-visual smörgåsbord it turned out to be, he analyses it with the forensic skill of a surgeon, treasuring every inter-galactic frame.
