Downfall - Limited Edition (BLU-RAY 4K ULTRA HD + BLU-RAY)

Director Oliver Hirschbiegel transports us to the final days of Adolf Hitler, as the Russian Army closes in, his loyal supporters defect, and the Third Reich’s Downfall fastens with each passing day. April, 1945. As Germany stands on the brink of defeat, Hitler remains fiercely determined to avoid surrender, proclaiming that Germany will still achieve victory, ordering his generals and advisers to fight to the last man. With his military decimated and the Third Reich falling apart from the inside out, the pressure in the underground bunker mounts, and the unavoidable future becomes clear. Based on the book Until the Final Hour by Hitler’s secretary Traudl Junge, and historian Joachim Fest’s book Inside Hitler's Bunker, Downfall is a remarkable feat of filmmaking, presenting a frighteningly realistic look inside the tormented final days of the infamous dictator. Stars Bruno Ganz (Wings of Desire) in a defining performance as Adolf Hitler, alongside an extraordinary ensemble cast including Alexandra Maria Lara, Corinna Harfouch, Ulrich Matthes, and Juliane Köhler. This Limited Edition 3-Disc Hardbox set includes the 155-minute Theatrical Cut on 4K UHD and Blu-ray, as well as the 178-minute Extended Cut on Blu-ray in standard definition. Accompanied by a 44-Page Hardcover Booklet featuring a brand NEW essay by film and music historian David Michael Brown.
