The British Film Institute has detailed its upcoming Limited Edition 4K Blu-ray release of Mike Hodges' classic crime thriller Get Carter (1971), starring Michael Caine, Ian Hendry, Britt Ekland, John Osborne, and Tony Beckley. The two-disc set will be available for purchase on July 25.
Description: Jack Carter (Michael Caine) is a cold-blooded London gangster, and not the sort of man you want to cross. When Carter's brother winds up dead, he travels to Newcastle to arrange the funeral. Convinced that his brother was murdered, Carter questions local thug Eric (Ian Hendry), who eventually leads him to kingpin Kinnear. From there, Carter carves a bloody trail of revenge through the seedy underbelly of Newcastle in search of his brother's killer.
