For one day only, Park Circus will showcase the film in cinemas from 4th July – the release date coinciding with America’s Independence Day.

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 physically and mentally scarred, and when Michael returns to Saigon to fulfill an old promise to one of his friends, he makes an unexpected, horrific discovery.

It also features performances from Meryl Streep, Michael and Nick’s love interest, and John Cazale (The Godfather, Dog Day Afternoon) as their unhinged and insecure friend Stan.

For the 40th anniversary restoration, StudioCanal went back to the original 35mm negative, which was scanned at 4K resolution in 16bit. The restoration was completed at Silver Salt in London, who created a restored 4K DCP and UHD version for the home entertainment release.
