Universal Studios Home Entertainment has announced the 40th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray release of director Clint Eastwood's
High Plains Drifter, starring Eastwood, Verna Bloom, Marianna Hill, Mitch Ryan, Stefan Gierasch, Billy Curtis and Geoffrey Lewis. Digitally remastered and fully restored from high resolution 35MM original film, the classic 1973 western makes its Blu-ray debut on October 15th.
Official Synopsis: Filmmaker Clint Eastwood returns to his familiar Old West stomping grounds and his internationally acclaimed role of "The Man with No Name" in High Plains Drifter. This time, The Stranger (Eastwood) mysteriously appears out of the heat waves of the desert and rides into the lawless, sin-ridden town of Lago. After making a name for himself with a string of blazing gun battles, The Stranger is hired by the townspeople to provide protection from three ruthless gunmen just out of jail. Directed by Eastwood himself, this pulse-pounding shoot-em-up is recognized as one of his signature western classics.
The Blu-ray release of
High Plains Drifter features 1080p video, DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround, and an UltraViolet digital copy. Extras include the film's theatrical trailer.
