NEW COPY BUT NOT SHRINKWRAPPED - opened only to
replace cracked case
Winner of five Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director and
Best Supporting Actor for Christopher Walken, The Deer Hunter is widely
acknowledged as one of cinema's great masterpieces and contains some of
the most memorable scenes in film history. When Michael (Robert De
Niro), Steven (John Savage) and Nick (Christopher Walken) are captured
by the Vietcong, they are forced to play Russian Roulette by their
brutal captors, who make bets on their survival. The experience of
capture leaves them with terrible physical and psychological wounds and
when Michael returns to Saigon to fulfil an old promise to one of his
friends, he makes an unexpected, horrific discovery.
Also features astonishing performances from Meryl Streep as the woman
both Michael and Nick fall in love with, and John Cazale (The Godfather,
Dog Day Afternoon) as their unhinged and insecure friend Stan.
