Product Information

This blu ray boxset brings together the finest war and political action films of recent times in one complete set.<br.> LONE SURVIVOR - The year is 2005. In the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks, the War in Afghanistan is well under way when military intelligence learns that a senior Taliban member is hiding out in a remote village deep in the Hindu Kush mountains of the Kunar Province. Convinced that his capture or killing could turn the tide of the difficult war in favour of the United States, the Navy SEALs hatch Operation Red Wings. The goal is simple -- send a select team of soldiers to stake out the village from the surrounding mountains, and move on their target when the time is right. Under the leadership of Lieutenant Michael Murphy, Marcus Luttrell, Matt Axelson , and Danny Dietz reach their checkpoint. Shortly after arriving at that new location and getting a positive ID on their target, however, the soldiers are caught off guard by three wandering shepherds, including a young boy. Ultimately, a heated vote over what to do with the captured shepherds leads Lt. Murphy to decide that the best course of action is to abide by the rules of engagement, meaning that the soldiers will abort the mission, release the captives, and retreat to their extraction point. Shortly after the shepherds are set free, however, the four SEALs find themselves surrounded by dozens of Taliban soldiers, and engaged in a fierce gunfight that -- with the aid of some truly brave villagers -- only one of them will make it out of.<br.> ZERO DARK THIRTY - Directly after the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Centre, a decade-long man hunt began for the al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. The most elite team of intelligence and military personnel from across the globe devoted themselves to one single goal for ten years, to find and eliminate bin Laden. Directed by Katheyn Bigelow, this is the story of the mission that changed the fight against terror forever.<br.> SAFE HOUSE - A rookie CIA operative goes on the run with a rogue former intelligence officer after a South African safe house comes under attack by heavily armed mercenaries. Matt Weston is a CIA agent just waiting for the perfect opportunity to prove himself. But that's no easy task when you've been cooped up in an empty Cape Town safe house for a whole year. Weston realizes that a prime opportunity is headed his way, however, when he learns that former agent Tobin Frost has been captured after nearly a decade on the run. Weston's only hope for getting out of this alive is to find out who's gunning for them, and seek out someone he can trust before it's too late.<br.> GREEN ZONE sees UNITED 93 director Paul Greengrass explores the aftermath of the Iraq invasion, as Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller desperately searching the country for Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction.<br.> CONTRABAND - A former smuggler from New Orleans faces ruthless drug lords, vicious criminals, corrupt officials, and trigge

ReviewsFilm4 - Authentic military detail, generic storytelling and manly patriotism battle it out in a gut-wrenching war movie that celebrates heroism under fire., Independent - Greengrass, with his superkinetic camerawork and visceral sense of you-are-there immediacy, pieces together a compelling picture of a ground force trying (and failing) to order a city on the slide towards anarchy., Time Out - While director Espinosa hones in on the ambiguous battle between Weston's idealism and Frost's cynicism, British cinematographer Oliver Wood - who filmed the last two Bourne movies - shoots the hell out of everything., Daily Telegraph - [A] thick-cut, crusts-left-on smuggling thriller directed by the Icelandic filmmaker Baltasar Kormßkur., Little White Lies - It haunts and lingers long after the lights go up.
