Cease Fire 3D
Synopsis: A real military action during the last year of the Korean War is re-enacted on the spot with real soldiers.
Most 3-D movies of the era used the format to accentuate and exaggerate artifice.
Cease Fire is the rare production to employ the stereoscopic process to heighten reality, emphasizing the brutality of combat, the vastness of a cold, unfamiliar terrain and the isolation felt by a patrol of valiant fighting men. Part documentary, part drama, part cinéma vérité, the film remains a unique and remarkable achievement.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
- Newly Restored in HD and 3-D from 2K Scans
- 3-D Restoration by 3-D Film Archive
- 3 General Mark W. Clark introductions for premiere engagements
