Cruising Blu-ray

'Cruising' Director: William Friedkin (1980) Arrow Blu-ray | Director-approved 4K restoration

New York is caught in the grip of a sadistic serial killer who is preying on the patrons of the city's underground bars. A young rookie police officer is tasked with going undercover and infiltrating the S&M subculture to try and lure the killer out of the shadows – but as he immerses himself deeper and deeper into the underworld, he risks losing his own identity in the process. Starring Al Pacino and Paul Sorvino.

Taking the premise and title from reporter Gerald Walker's novel, Cruising was the subject of great controversy at the time of its release and remains a challenging and remarkable movie to this day, with Pacino's haunted lead performance as its magnetic centrepiece.
