IMAGE ENTERTAINMENT PROUDLY PRESENTS "THE WAY BACK"
THE OSCAR®-NOMINATED STORY OF A COMPELLING JOURNEY, A TEST OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT
From the Best-Selling Memoir by Slavomir Rawicz--Arriving on DVD and Blu-ray™ April 19, 2011
Chatsworth, CA – Incredible but true… These conflicting words shouldn’t be describing a single event…yet they do. On April 19, Image Entertainment releases The Way Back, the thrilling story inspired by real events of seven escapees and the agonies they endured as they cross a brutal landscape towards a distant, safe haven. Directed by six-time Academy-Award® nominee Peter Weir (Witness, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World), the film wowed critics and audiences during its theatrical run earlier this year. Oscar® nominated for Best Makeup, The Way Back will be available on DVD for an SRP of $27.97 and on Blu-ray™ for an SRP of $29.97. Special features (both formats) include the original theatrical trailer, with a behind-the-scenes featurette. Pre-book is March 22.
Starring four-time Oscar® nominee Ed Harris (Apollo 13), Jim Sturgess (Across the Universe), Oscar® nominee Saoirse Ronan (Atonement) and Colin Farrell (In Bruges), this is an epic saga of survival; a trial of humanity and strength. The year is 1940, and seven prisoners have daringly escaped from a brutal Siberian gulag. But they find that having escaped one prison they are now surrounded by another: the brutal, unforgiving Siberian landscape. But freedom is tempting and the men begin a treacherous 4,500-mile trek, with little food and supplies. Their trust in each other is even less, but in order to withstand nature at its most terrifying extremes, they must learn to rely on each other and overcome their suspicions. Their compassion is further tested when they meet a teenage runaway who begs to join them on their quest.
The Way Back is an exhilarating testament to human courage and endurance, a wilderness adventure that spans miles as well as emotions. Vast and powerful, it has been called “Peter Weir at his hypnotic best.” (Cinematical.com)
The Way Back is the first film produced under the Exclusive Films label to be distributed through Exclusive’s subsidiary, Newmarket Films, in partnership with Wrekin Hill. National Geographic Entertainment and Imagenation Abu Dhabi co-produced the film as part of their joint production agreement.
