Inglourious Basterds Blu-Ray

IT WAS ONCE... IN NAZI-OCCUPIED FRANCE

One of today's most acclaimed filmmakers harnesses the power of cinema to rewrite history in this electrifying World War II thriller.

Shosanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent) narrowly escapes the SS massacre of her entire family and flees to Paris, where she creates a new identity for herself as the owner and operator of a movie theater. Meanwhile, a guerrilla band of Jewish-American soldiers, "The Basterds," led by Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt), is fighting a bloody war of attrition behind enemy lines, but Europe is still under Nazi rule. The leaders of the Third Reich believe they are unstoppable and gather in Paris for the premiere of the propaganda epic The Pride of the Nation. The venue? Shosanna's cinema. With all the rotten eggs in one basket, "The Basterds" British command lieutenant Archie Hicox (Michael Fassbender) and German film star/undercover agent Bridget Von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) to infiltrate the premiere. Their plan? Blow up the basket...

Inglourious Basterds is filled with shocking violence, thrilling action, and unbearable suspense. It became a box office hit worldwide and received eight Academy Award® nominations (2009), including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay, with Christoph Waltz winning Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of the cold-blooded SS Colonel Hans Landa. Witness the war as it might have been in stunning 4K Ultra HD!
