A downed airplane is a motley group of men’s only protection from the relentless desert sun, in this psychologically charged disaster epic, one of the all-time great survival movies. James Stewart is the veteran pilot whose Benghazi-bound plane—carrying passengers played by an unshaven ensemble of screen icons including Richard Attenborough, Ernest Borgnine, Ian Bannen, Dan Duryea, Peter Finch, and George Kennedy—crash-lands in the remote Sahara. As tensions simmer among the survivors, they find themselves forced to trust a coldly logical engineer (Hardy Krüger) whose plan to get them out may just be crazy enough to work—or could kill them all. Directed with characteristic punch by Hollywood iconoclast Robert Aldrich, The Flight of the Phoenix balances adventure with human drama as it conducts a surprising and complex examination of authority, honor, and camaraderie among desperate men. BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES 2K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack New conversation between filmmaker Walter Hill and film scholar Alain Silver New interview with biographer Donald Dewey on actor James Stewart and his service as a bomber pilot Trailer English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing PLUS: An essay by filmmaker and critic Gina Telaroli

Description

Legendary director Howard Hawks (Red River, Rio Bravo) re-teams with The Duke John Wayne (Sands of Iwo Jima, Donovan's Reef), who stars as the leader of a group of highly skilled professional game hunters in Africa. Only they do't use bullets they capture the ferocious big game with strong ropes and cameras for zoos and circus attractions. It is an exciting business that pits man against beast. Hatari is Swahili for danger and also the word for action, adventure, romance and broad comedy in this two-fisted Hawks effort that provides rousing entertainment for people of all ages! The fine cast also includes Hardy Kruger (A Bridge Too Far), Red Buttons (Sayonara) and beautiful Elsa Martinelli (The Belle Starr Story); with a script by longtime Hawks cohort Leigh Brackett (El Dorado, Rio Lobo), Oscar-nominated Technicolor cinematography by Russell Harlan (To Kill a Mockingbird) and the fabulous music of Henry Mancini (Arabesque).
