Crackerjack (1994 film)

Crackerjack is a 1994 Canadian-American action film directed by Michael Mazo, and starring Thomas Ian Griffith, Nastassja Kinski and Christopher Plummer. The setting is the Rocky Mountains. In the film, a troubled widowed cop (Griffith) and a tour guide (Kinski) attempt to prevent a high-stakes robber (Plummer) from burying the mountain hotel hosting a wealthy mobster—whom both cop and robber are after—in an avalanche. The film was part of a wave of 1990s Die Hard imitators, and is often regarded as one of the better-made independent efforts in that subgenre.

The film features a plot typical for terrorism-related films, with a terrorist group taking over a mountain resort, planning to destroy it in an intentional avalanche and to eliminate the other residents.
