In 1977 Redford appeared in a segment of the war film "A Bridge Too Far" (1977). Then he took a two-year hiatus from movies, before starring as past-his-prime rodeo star in the adventure-romance "The Electric Horseman" (1979). This film reunited him with Jane Fonda and which finished at No. 9 in the box office for 1980. Later that year he appeared in the prison drama "Brubaker" (1980), playing a prison warden attempting to reform the system. As well, his directoral debut, "Ordinary People", which followed the disintegration of an upper-class American family after the death of a son, was one of the most critically and publicly acclaimed films of the decade, winning four Oscars, including Best Director for Redford himself, and Best Picture.
