This set contains five low-budget, independent movies from the 1970s and '80s, presented here on two Blu-ray discs. Nick Millard was quite a character, a second-generation exploitation filmmaker whose father could be a bit of a con man at times.

Millard started out in porn and made a couple of horror films before turning his attention toward the action genre. Shooting on location is always a matter of necessity for those working with his constraints but he gets some remarkable places in there, the Millard family vacations always including some time set aside for shooting.

And before you get to the actual features, there's this promising message: "The Action Films of Nick Millard were all stored in extremely sub-standard conditions, resulting in extensive physical damage, including moisture damage. Additionally, due to Nick Millard's frequent re-cutting of his camera originals, all film elements contain extreme amounts of dirt and handling damage. Although extensive image restoration was performed, substantial dirt and damage remain. Furthermore, due to Nick Millard's unorthodox approach to filmmaking, he edited each of these title 'Single Strand,' rather than AB rolling, resulting in visible splice marks on most cuts".

First up is .357 Magnum, a loosely plotted hitman-versus-hitman story.
