From the VHS box cover:

Ray Bradbury’s best-selling science fiction masterpiece about a future without books takes on a chillingly realistic dimension in this film classic directed by one of the more important screen innovators of all time, the late Francois Truffaut. Julie Christie stars in the challenging dual role of Oskar Werner’s pleasure-seeking conformist wife, Linda, and his rebellious, book-collecting mistress, Clarisse.

Montag (Oskar Werner), a regimented fireman in charge of burning the forbidden volumes, meets a revolutionary school teacher who dares to read. Suddenly he finds himself a hunted fugitive, forced to choose not only between two women, but between personal safety and intellectual freedom. Truffant’s first English language production is an eerie fable where mankind becomes the ultimate evil.

From the box:

You Will Believe.

Bowen (Quaid) is a knight dedicated to The Old Code — a noble creed of honor. When his pupil, Prince Einon, becomes an even crueler king than his father, Bowen’s idealism turns to bitterness. Believing Einon’s soul to have been poisoned by a dragon, Bowen vows to destroy them all. On his quest for revenge, he meets “Draco” (Connery), a dragon whose power, strength and wit prove to be more than a match for the disillusioned knight. Soon, what begins as a life or death struggle between the two evolves into a friendship that will change the face of their medieval world.
