The Peacemaker is a 1997 thriller and action movie starring George Clooney and Nicole Kidman. It is notable as being the very first film released by DreamWorks.
The Peacemaker (1956) is a western film directed by Ted Post and starring James Mitchell, Rosemarie Bowe, and Jan Merlin. Hal Richards based the script on the novel of the same name by Richard Poole.
Producer Hal R. Makelim intended The Peacemaker to be the first of a series of low-budget productions. According to Merlin, who played the villain, shooting took only "seven or ten days." Although the film featured some successful character actors like Hugh Sanders in supporting roles, none of the performers qualified as marquee names; in fact, at this point in his career, star James Mitchell was known only as a dancer (despite some dramatic roles at MGM). While Makelim tried to compensate for these problems by marketing the film to a religious audience--the local clergymen were invited to the film's premiere in Wichita --The Peacemaker enjoyed only sporadic distribution and was not widely reviewed. Makelim managed to produce only one more film, Valerie (1957), and Mitchell would not make another film appearance until The Turning Point (1977).

The daily climate of potential violence faced by many urban teens, as well as some possible solutions, are explored in "Peacemaker," a unique combination of TV drama and documentary starring students at an inner-city middle school in Dallas. The documentary segments of "Peacemaker" focus on the daily lives of several students from Thomas A. Edison Learning Center in West Dallas, one of the city's poorest and most violent neighborhoods. The program follows the students as they prepare for their roles in a 25-minute drama written - with their input - by Dallas screenwriter Victor San Miguel. The students, many of whom relate poignant and moving stories about their own experiences with violence, were all voluntary participants in an innovative, 11-week anti-violence workshop conducted at the middle school.
