What's happening
STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE
The original that started it all follows Luke Skywalker as he teams with Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, cocky pilot Han Solo, a Wookiee and two droids to save the galaxy and rescue Princess Leia from the evil Darth Vader.
STAR WARS: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
With a richer story, more complex themes and a darker tone than STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE, this is the gold standard for blockbuster sequels. Three years after the destruction of the Death Star, the Rebel Alliance is dealt a stunning blow by the evil Empire on the ice planet Hoth.
DAYS AND NIGHTS IN THE FOREST
Adapted from Sunil Gangopadhyay’s celebrated 1968 novel, DAYS AND NIGHTS IN THE FOREST is one of director Satyajit Ray’s greatest achievements, a modern search for connection that conjures the timeless resonance of a folktale. This new 4K restoration includes a recorded introduction by filmmaker Wes Anderson.
