Orca (1977) Limited Edition German Import Steelbook - 4K UHD
For many years, Captain Nolan (Richard Harris) has been obsessed with catching an orca. Although marine biologist Rachel Bedford (Charlotte Rampling) warns him against the risky undertaking, he sets sail with his crew. When the crew encounters a school of orcas, Nolan accidentally fatally injures a pregnant whale cow and her calf. Her companion, an enormously large orca bull, then begins a merciless campaign of revenge that claims the lives of several crew members. But Nolan is not intimidated and takes on the beast in the Nordic Arctic Ocean. (1 4K-UHD + 1 Blu-ray) Sergio Leone's in-house authors Luciano Vincenzioni and Sergio Donati were responsible for the screenplay, based on a literary work by Arthur Herzog, and here too they did not skimp on spot-on dialogue. The soundtrack to the film was provided by none other than legendary composer Ennio Morricone.
