Synopsis:

They built the city to see what makes us tick. Last night one of us went off.

I can teach you to control your power consciously.
Let me help you, John.
Together we can stop them.
We can take the city back.


When John Murdoch (Rufus Sewell) awakens in a strange hotel room, he finds that he is wanted for a series of brutal murders. The problem is he can't remember a thing. As he is pursued by the police and haunted by The Strangers--a mysterious group of pale men who seem to control everything (and everyone), and possess the ability to stop time and alter reality--he seeks to unravel the twisted riddle of his identity. But in a city where reality is the ultimate illusion, discovering the truth could be fatal.

The critically-acclaimed triumph from visionary director Alex Proyas (I, Robot, The Crow) is back with a brand new director's cut featuring enhanced picture and sound, never-before-seen footage and three commentary tracks that take you deeper than ever before into the world of one of sci-fi's most exciting and revered tales.

Starring Rufus Sewell (The Illusionist), Kiefer Sutherland (TV's 24), Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind, Dark Water) and William Hurt (Body Heat, A History Of Violence, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Children of a Lesser God).
