Studio Canal in the UK has announced a new remastered release on 4KUHD and Blu-ray of the classic western Red Sun.
Directed by Terence Young, RED SUN is based on a true story from the American Wild West of 1870. When outlaw Link (Charles Bronson) is betrayed by his gang during a train robbery, he is forced by the Japanese Ambassador to help regain a priceless sword stolen by Link’s double-crossing partner Gauche (Alain Delon).
Link and the Ambassador’s bodyguard, Kuroda (Toshiro Mifune), travel the West in pursuit of Gauche, attempting to lure him out by taking his girlfriend (Ursula Andress) hostage. Although Kuroda plans to kill Gauche straight away,
Link needs him alive to find the loot from their last robbery. Joined in an uneasy alliance, they have only seven days to find Gauche or Kuroda must follow his samurai code of honour and die by his sword.
This is a brand-new 4K restoration of the thrilling and unique western as part of the Cult Classics Collection.
RED SUN was an international co-production, filmed in Spain, and was a big hit in Europe and Japan. Cinema Retro calls it an ‘enthralling Western’ that ‘has to be seen to be believed’.
