Kino Lorber have dated and detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of director John Boorman's film
Hell in the Pacific (1968), starring Lee Marvin and Toshirô Mifune. The release will be available for purchase on June 6.
Synopsis: From the director of Excalibur and Deliverance comes this "gripping" (Leonard Maltin) adventure about two wartime enemies trapped alone on a desert island. Academy Award winner Lee Marvin (The Dirty Dozen) and Toshiro Mifune (The Seven Samurai) deliver "striking and well-etched performances" (LA Herald-Examiner) in this searing psychological drama that packs "plenty of action and excitement" (Motion Picture Herald)!
From the instant they meet, a marooned American soldier (Marvin) and his Japanese counterpart (Mifune) have the same objective: killing each other. But it soon becomes apparent that the only way they will survive is by forging an uneasy truce and cooperating with each other. Can they rise above the hatred that divides them long enough to stay alive?
