Default RUNAWAY TRAIN- DUAL FORMAT DISCUSSION THREAD

Runaway Train Dual Format Blu-ray & DVD

DESPERATE AND DETERMINED TO SURVIVE

Two convicts break out of Stonehaven Prison in the dead of winter, boarding a freight train with the intention of getting as far away as possible before their notoriously sadistic warden finds out. But the brakes fail and the driver has a heart attack, sending hundreds of tons of metal hurtling through the snowy Alaskan wastes at terrifying and unstoppable speed.

Based on a script by Akira Kurosawa (Seven Samurai), with hardboiled prison slang added by real-life ex-con Edward Bunker (Mr Blue in Reservoir Dogs), this riveting thriller also boasts Oscar-nominated performances from Jon Voight and Eric Roberts – with Voight playing spectacularly against type as a criminal so vicious that he served much of his sentence welded into his cell.

Combining electrifying action with constant psychological tension (the only surviving member of the train crew is a young, inexperienced woman), Runaway Train is one of cinema's great thrill-rides.

Special Features:
- High Definition transfer of the film prepared by MGM for the Cannes Film Festival premiere
- High Definition Blu-ray and Standard Definition DVD presentation of the film
- Optional English SDH Subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing
- From Thespian to Fugitive – Star Jon Voight shares his memories of his Academy Award-nominated role
- Running on Empty – An Interview with director Andrei Konchalovsky
- The Calm Before the Chaos – Co-star Kyle T. Heffner remembers Runaway Train
- Booklet featuring new writing on the film and a new interview with Runaway Train’s Production Designer Stephen Marsh conducted by Calum Waddell, illustrated with rare behind-the-scenes production images

Released 22nd July

I knew there was a 2K transfer of this made, just not sure who was going to release it.

Nice surprise it's from Arrow, looks good!

Now all I'm waiting for is to see who's releasing River's Edge, which also got a 2K
