Our newspapers are filled with stories about
them. The airwaves announce their actions on a daily basis.
But who exactly is what we call a “terrorist?” While they
share the same methods, do all terrorists have the same
goal?
Anchor Bay Films announces the May 21st Blu-ray™ and DVD
release of Myriad Pictures’ A Common Man. Oscar®-winner
Ben Kingsley (Gandhi, the upcoming Iron Man 3)
stars as a seemingly average citizen who plants five
powerful bombs in different locations around a major
international city and threatens to detonate them unless his
sole unconditional demand is met: The simultaneous release
of four of the most deadly international terrorists from
government prisons. In an urban landscape already gripped by
fear, what could be the real motive behind a cunning
madman’s ultimate plan?
Ben Cross (Star Trek, Chariots of Fire) co-stars in
the film, which has been named a finalist at this year’s New
York Festival. An explosive thriller about duty, justice and
the never-ending cycle of terrorist violence – all of which
begins and ends with A Common Man.
The SRP is $24.99 for the Blu-ray and $22.98
for the DVD, with pre-book on April 24th.
A Common Man,
screenplay written and directed by Chandrum Rutnam, from the
story by Neeraj Pandy, was produced by B.S. Radha Krishnan,
Manohan Nanyakkara, and Rutnam of Asia Digital
Entertainment. Paul Mason and Jonathan Sheinberg served as
executive producers.
