The Stunt Man (Limited Edition) 4K UHD+Blu-Ray Unknown

From new label Transmission with Radiance comes Cameron (Steve Railsback, Lifeforce) is a man who finds himself unmoored from American life: recently returned from Vietnam, he is now a drifter on the run from the law. While evading police, he stumbles upon the filming of a World War I movie helmed by the megalomaniacal Eli Cross (Peter O'Toole, Lawrence of Arabia). When Cameron discovers that he bears a striking resemblance to the lead actor, he hatches a plan: to hide from his potential captors by disguising himself as a stunt double and agreeing to perform a series... of increasingly dangerous stunts.But nothing is what it first seems on an Eli Cross set, and as illusion and make-believe start to bleed into one another, Cameron finds himself locked in a battle of wits with a possibly insane genius, and in danger of becoming unmoored not just from society, but from reality itself Newly restored in 4K, The Stunt Man was a critical smash that suffered from distribution issues on its original release in 1980 - it was nevertheless nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Director for Richard Rush, and has earned a reputation as one of the most beloved cult films of all time. Featuring one of Peter O'Toole's greatest performances, and enough action-packed mayhem to power several blockbusters, The Stunt Man is - to use the words of Eli Cross - pure movie magic.4K UHD & BLU-RAY DUAL FORMAT SPECIAL FEATURESNew 4K restoration from original 35mm camera negative, presented in Dolby Vision HDR5.1 DTS Surround mix and original uncompressed mono audioFeature-length making-of The Sinister Saga of Making The Stunt Man (dir.
