StudioCanal will release on 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray Sam Peckinpah's Convoy (1978), starring Kris Kristofferson, Ali MacGraw, Ernest Borgnine, Burt Young, and Madge Sinclair. The two releases are scheduled to arrive on the market on October 28.
Based upon the smash hit country and western song by C.W.McCall (which reached Number 2 in the UK singles charts), Peckinpah's road movie about a massive truckers' convoy features plenty of the director's trademark slow motion set pieces, a bunch of quotable CB banter ("Breaker one-nine, this here's the Rubber Duck!"), and a whole lot of smashed-up police cars.
This action favourite - the most successful of Peckinpah's career - has an incredible supporting cast of some of the greatest character actors to grace the screen, including Ernest Borgnine (Escape From New York), Burt Young (Rocky), Seymour Cassell (In The Soup), and Harry Dean Stanton (Alien).
As well as the McCall song, the soundtrack features a host of tunes by country legends including Kenny Rogers, Crystal Gayle, Merle Haggard, Glen Campbell and Billie Jo Spears.
A mighty convoy of dust-raising trucks heads for a state line in South-western America, led by legendary trucker 'Rubber Duck' (Kris Kristofferson). The truckers are protesting against police corruption, federal and states laws and shady politicking. The law is bearing down on truckers and forcing them to obey unrealistic speed limitations which rob them of precious time and money. The national guard, the Army, the Police and the feds are all out to halt the truckers, but the truckers don't want to stop!
