A Simple Plan Limited Edition

SOMETIMES GOOD PEOPLE DO EVIL THINGS.

Working from an Academy Award-nominated screenplay by Scott B. Smith (adapting his own bestselling novel), director Sam Raimi swapped his trademark hyperkinetic horror for stark, bone-chilling tension in the expertly-crafted, critically-acclaimed thriller A Simple Plan.

Hank Mitchell (Bill Paxton) and his wife Sarah (Bridget Fonda) have big dreams and a baby on the way, but are stuck in the small Minnesota town where Hank grew up alongside his sweet but naive brother Jacob (Billy Bob Thornton, Oscar-nominated for Best Supporting Actor). One day while walking in the woods, Hank, Jacob, and Jacob’s friend Lou (Brent Briscoe) discover a small plane buried in the snow, with a dead pilot inside... and a duffel bag containing over $4 million in cash. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to grasp the American dream in one fell swoop, if they can just keep it a secret – but Hank soon learns that keeping that secret will come at a terrible cost.

A bleak, heart-stopping morality play with allusions to Macbeth and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (Raimi’s favorite film), A Simple Plan returns in a brand new director-approved 4K remaster accompanied by new and exclusive bonus features.

Arrow doin' the lawd's work.

Thank goodness it’s Arrow and not Kino. For some reason I thought Kino would be releasing this one on 4K.

Awesome news! Day 1.

HuggyBear73 · 08-29-2024, 08:44 PM

What a lovely day!

Wonder if we get a arte originale.

fattyjoe37 · 08-29-2024, 08:54 PM

Crazy how long this took to come to even Blu. One of Raimi's very best films. So excited to pre-order this tomorrow!

VincentLord · 08-29-2024, 08:56 PM

Almost caved on the crappy German blu-ray last week but decided to hold out hope. I've been waiting for this one for a long time, it's going to be a major upgrade. I feel very privileged to have all of my favourite director's good films available on the format hahaha (though I'd like to see The Gift make it someday!!)

Somebuddy · 08-29-2024, 09:04 PM

HOLY SHIT YESSSSS!!!! This makes up for the last several months!

mechamacbeth · 08-29-2024, 09:12 PM

Terrific film. Will it come with a set of razors so I can off myself when it's finished? Seriously one of the most depressing movies I've ever seen.

DukeTogo84 · 08-29-2024, 09:15 PM

One of my favorite films of all time. Been waiting for this for so long and really excited to watch this again.

dudeabides34 · 08-29-2024, 09:18 PM

My wishlist just took a huge hit. Bless you Arrow and Paramount!

Scottie · 08-29-2024, 09:39 PM

I would have bet all of my doubloons that Criterion would be releasing this one.

Great to see it's coming.

PowellPressburger · 08-29-2024, 09:40 PM

YAaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!

sojrner · 08-29-2024, 09:44 PM

...oh yes, it will be mine.

Ben_UK · 08-29-2024, 09:48 PM

Oh wow. Loved this movie.

I guess there must be a number of movies were the protagonist finds something of value then tries to keep it. I saw Shallow Grave a few years after seeing this and that has a similar premise.

nicwood · 08-29-2024, 09:59 PM

Woo-hoo!!!!!! Absolutely incredible and the extras look stellar. A shame that Raimi didn’t take part in the new interviews but the commentary with the production designer sounds promising.

joshinminn · 08-29-2024, 10:00 PM

Excellent film, long overdue! Every excited to purchase this. Wonder if it will get one of those hard slip boxes though with an original art version. The preview looks like it's more like Weird Science or Mallrats regular cases/slips.

ShortFuse98 · 08-29-2024, 10:02 PM

About time!

This will be a regular case. If a miniature logo of the front artwork is visible on the spine, it’ll be a slim one.

Love the movie and the novel. Will certainly be adding this to the collection.
