From legendary director Akira Kurosawa (“Rashomon,” “Seven Samurai”) comes his sweeping action epic “Ran.” The movie arrives November 16th on 4K Ultra HD™ Steelbook from Lionsgate, exclusively at Best Buy. Akira Kurosawa’s “Ran” is a visually dazzling samurai epic that blends King Lear, 16th-century feudal Japan, and Kurosawa’s own notions of loyalty and honor to tell the story of aging Lord Hidetora, whose decision to bequeath his kingdom to his three sons sparks a power struggle that leads to chaos and madness.
Hailed as a masterpiece by filmmakers and cinephiles alike, and winner of the 1985 Oscar® for Costume Design, “Ran” is a sumptuous 4K feast. Featuring all-new artwork from artist Zi Xu, “Ran” will be available on 4K Ultra HD™ Steelbook at Best Buy for the suggested retail price of $27.99.
