MCBAIN (1991)

McBain on Blu-ray!

The 1991 Cult Action Classic McBain, starring Academy Award Winner Christopher Walken and directed by James Glickenhaus, comes to Blu-ray July 11th!     
 
On July 11th, Synapse Films will release McBain on Blu-ray with an all-new 5.1 Surround Mix created specifically for this release.  
  
At the end of the Vietnam War, POW Robert McBain (Christopher Walken), is freed by a squad of Army Rangers led by Santos (Chick Vennera). In gratitude, McBain promises to help Santos whenever he's in need. Santos takes out a $100 bill, tears it in two, gives half to McBain and says, "If the other half of this bill ever finds you, you can pay me back." 

Almost twenty years later, Santos, back in his native Colombia, is killed while leading a fight against drug lords and corrupt politicians. Santos’ sister Christina (Maria Conchita Alonso) travels to America with the other half of the $100 bill in an attempt to enlist McBain's help in overthrowing the Colombian regime. McBain brings together the former Rangers (Michael Ironside, Steve James, Thomas G. Waites, Jay Patterson) to help bring down the dictator and drug lords in an all-out war on drugs, political corruption and injustice.
