Black Hawk Down

DVDs WORTH FIGHTING FOR!

Black Hawk Down (MA15+)
Release Date: 21 August 2002

Described by Rolling Stone as "One of the best films of the year", two time Academy Award winner (Best Editing and Best Sound) Black Hawk Down is now one of the best DVDs of the year.

Amassing nearly $11 million at the Australian box office, this spectacular movie experience is brought to you on DVD in all of the original widescreen glory and mind blowing 5.1 Dolby Digital sound that director Ridley Scott intended to be present. This is coupled with some great special features that include a 24-minute 'On the Set' feature that highlights what goes on behind-the-scenes of such powerful movie. Australia's own Eric Bana (from Chopper, upcoming The Incredible Hulk) is profiled on this disc along with the rest of the brilliant cast including Josh Hartnett (from Pearl Harbour, 40 Days & 40 Nights) and Ewan McGregor (from Moulin Rouge!, Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace).

One of the most realistic combat movies ever created, Black Hawk Down is based on the true story of the U.S. Military attack on Somalia, created on film by the director of Gladiator, Ridley Scott and the producer of Enemy of the State, Jerry Bruckheimer.

Director, Ridley Scott is currently working on further behind-the-scenes special features that will be released worldwide in a Collector's Edition DVD pack, in 2003.

Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment is the Captain of combat viewing this August.
