Imprint, the Australia-based video label, has released a limited edition (1500) Blu-ray boxed set of "The Eagle Has Landed". It includes the original theatrical release cut and an extended version as well. As is often the case with Imprint titles, they sell out almost immediately. However, there are a few copies listed on Amazon USA for hardcore fans of the film. Here are the details from Imprint's site. To order the set from Amazon, click here. We can say that the set is amazing and includes bonus extras from previous releases as well as new content for this limited edition set. Note: although the Amazon description lists this title as a Region B/2 Blu-ray, in fact it is region-free.
The daring World War II plot that changed the course of history.
During World War II, Nazi officer Max Radl (Robert Duvall)
devises a plan to kidnap or kill the British prime minister. Approved by
German Cmdr. Heinrich Himmler (Donald Pleasence), the scheme moves
forward with Col. Kurt Steiner (Michael Caine) leading the mission,
aided by Liam Devlin (Donald Sutherland), an Irishman with a deep hatred
of England. As the plan unfolds, it seems to be going well — until
certain events threaten the group’s shot at success.
Michael Caine, Donald Sutherland and Robert Duvall lead a
star-studded cast in this World War II classic based on Jack Higgins’
best-selling novel. Directed by John Sturges (The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape).
Starring Michael Caine, Donald Sutherland, Robert Duvall, Donald Pleasence, Jenny Agutter, and Treat Williams.
