Synopsis:
This Special Collector's Edition DVD provides a fascinating new look into the riveting drama that is GALLIPOLI, the much-acclaimed film directed by Peter Weir (WITNESS, THE TRUMAN SHOW). Mel Gibson and Mark Lee are electrifying as the two patriotic young army enlistees drawn into the ill-planned and disastrous Battle of Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I. The result is a stirring unforgettable motion picture.

Nominated: Best Foreign Film, 1982 Golden Globes
Review:
"Mr. Weir's work has a delicacy, gentleness, even wispiness that would seem not well suited to the subject. And yet his film has an uncommon beauty, warmth, and immediacy, and a touch of the mysterious, too." -- Janet Maslin, THE NEW YORK TIMES
