St. Helens - 30th Anniversary Edition starring Academy Award Winner Art Carney! The true story of the eruption of Mount St. Helens and the men and women whose lives were thrown into chaos when the volcano blew its top, leveling over fifty square miles of virgin forest, spewing out a plume of ash and smoke that circled the globe. Academy Award Winner Art Carney takes on the role of Harry Truman, who refused to let the impending disaster move him from his mountain home, and David Huffman plays the geologist who predicted the eruption. Filmed entirely on location in Bend, Oregon in the aftermath of the May 18, 1980 seismic event, St. Helens is an up close and personal look at the largest volcanic explosion in North American history, blending original footage and drama with actual newsreel footage of the eruption! Bonus feature: A special interview with associate producer and location scout Peter Roscoe on the making of St. Helens. Roscoe's fascinating interview is illustrated with photographs and video of the actual eruption. Slide show of cast and crew stills from St. Helens by award-winning photographer Ancil Nance.
