Midway
centers
on the Battle of Midway, a clash between the American fleet and the
Imperial Japanese Navy which marked a pivotal turning point in the
Pacific Theater during WWII. The film, based on the real-life events
of this heroic feat, tells the story of the leaders and soldiers who
used their instincts, fortitude, and bravery to overcome the
odds. Directed by Roland Emmerich. Take home Midway
and
immerse yourself in history with multiple featurettes, including “We
Met at Midway: Two Survivors Remember” and “Joe Rochefort:
Breaking the Japanese Code,” which focus on real-life Midway
decorated flyers sharing their story of survival and the enigmatic
genius Joseph Rochefort, whose team broke the Japanese naval code
essential to winning the battle.
On
March 2, 1990, moviegoers were first introduced to Tom Clancy's
legendary CIA analyst Jack Ryan when the thrilling and
suspense-filled The Hunt
for the Red October
debuted in theaters. Now fans can relive every tension-laden moment
with a special 30th anniversary Limited Collector's Edition 4K
Blu-ray/Blu-ray Combo Steelbook, from Paramount Home Entertainment.
Based on Tom Clancy's bestseller, directed by John McTiernan (Die
Hard), and starring Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin, The
Hunt for the Red October
seethes with high-tech excitement and sweats with the tension of men
who hold Doomsday in their hands. A new technologically-superior
Soviet nuclear sub, the Red October, is heading for the U.S. coast
under the command of Captain Marko Ramius (Connery). The American
government thinks Ramius is planning to attack. A lone CIA analyst
named Jack Ryan (Baldwin) has a different idea: he thinks Ramius is
planning to defect, but he has only a few hours to find him and prove
it because the entire Russian naval and air commands are trying to
find him, too. The hunt is on!

From
Mike Nichols, the legendary director of Who's
Afraid of Virginia Woolf?,
The Graduate,
Catch-22,
Carnal
Knowledge
and Silkwood,
comes this nostalgic favorite of those who grew up in the '70s. The
Day of the Dolphin

Might Be Giants)
as a scientist who trains dolphins to speak, only to find them
enmeshed in a government assassination plot. Acclaimed screenwriter
Buck Henry (What's
Up, Doc?,
Candy,
The
Owl and the Pussycat)
adapted this fantasy-adventure from the popular novel by Robert Merle
(Weekend

the great William A. Fraker (Bullitt,

True
Confessions).

The
Original FAIL SAFE (1964) on Blu-ray 1/28 from Criterion Collection
This
unnerving procedural thriller painstakingly details an
all-too-plausible nightmare scenario in which a mechanical failure
jams the United States military’s chain of command and sends the
country hurtling toward nuclear war with the Soviet Union. Working
from a contemporary best seller, screenwriter Walter Bernstein and
director Sidney Lumet wrench harrowing suspense from the doomsday
fears of the Cold War era, making the most of a modest budget and
limited sets to create an atmosphere of clammy claustrophobia and
astronomically high stakes. Starring Henry Fonda as a coolheaded U.S.
president and Walter Matthau as a trigger-happy political theorist,
Fail Safe
is a long-underappreciated alarm bell of a film, sounding an urgent
warning about the deadly logic of mutually assured destruction.
