Historical Park reshowing two locally filmed movies The Nez Perce National Historical Park held Saturday movie matinees in December, but due to projector difficulties, the movies had to be shown on a large screen television rather than the auditorium screen. Visitors requested a re-showing on the larger screen as soon as possible. Breakheart Pass will be shown on Saturday, January 8 and Pillars of the Sky will show on Saturday, January 29. Showtimes for both films will be at 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM in the visitor center auditorium. These events are free, and seating is limited to 40 people. Breakheart Pass is a fast-paced western set in the frontier era. The movie takes place on a train moving through the Camas Prairie highlighting the trestle bridges that cross the canyons. Charles Bronson plays a prisoner fighting for his life and the lives of everyone else on the train. The movie was made in 1975 and is 1 hour and 35 minutes long. Pillars of the Sky is a western filmed on the Palouse and directed by George Marshall in 1956. After forced resettlement on the reservation, Native Americans move to battle when the cavalry build a bridge and intend to open a road across the reservation. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the visitor center auditorium capacity will be kept to a maximum of 40 people. Masks are required in the building.
