Max Manus Gets National U.S. Debut with DVD/Blue-Ray Release

Last updated: 5/26/2011 // The Norwegian film Max Manus: Man of War won six Norwegian Academy Awards and was released in limited U.S. Theaters last year. However, the film will now get its National U.S. debut with the DVD/Blu-ray release slated for June 28, 2011.

The winner of six Norwegian Academy Awards (including Best Film and Best Actor), Max Manus: Man of War is directed by leading Norwegian filmmakers Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg, who create an incredible, pulse-pounding adventure that is as engrossing as it is explosive—as well as the most expensive film production in Norwegian cinema history.

Popular Norwegian leading man Aksel Hennie stars as Max Manus, one man whose strength, intelligence and valor in the line of duty helped to liberate his country from the occupying Nazi forces of World War II. Twice escaping Nazi captivity, reshaping the tactics of guerrilla warfare, and harnessing his abilities for the precision and courage required to mount sabotage attacks on the Germans, Manus’s wartime triumphs—and losses—are unlike any others. And with the thrilling Max Manus: Man of War, an epic chapter in World War II history is finally revealed in all its spectacle and glory.

Music Box Films Home Entertainment will release Max Manus: Man of War on Blu-ray disc and DVD for the first time on June 28. For more information: www.musicboxfilms.com
