Harrison Ford (The Fugitive) and Kelly McGillis (The Accused) star as would-be lovers from two different worlds in Witness, director Peter Weir's (Picnic at Hanging Rock) Academy Award-winning neo-noir thriller which pits modernity against tradition. When a young Amish boy inadvertently witnesses a brutal murder while en route to Philadelphia with his recently widowed mother, Rachel (McGillis), Detective John Book (Ford) is assigned to the case. With the perpetrators desperate to silence the sole witness, Ford and his two wards are forced to hide out in the heart of the Amish community. As passions between Book and Rachel ignite, the killers close in, culminating in a dramatic, life-and-death clash of cultures that while change the lives of those involved forever. Noted for its sensitive portrayal of the Amish community, Witness features a career-best performance from Ford, earning him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. Now fully restored in 4K, Witness proves as timeless as it is masterful.

Press Quotes

An electrifying and poignant love story. Then it is a movie about the choices we make in life and the choices that other people make for us. Only then is it a thriller--one that Alfred Hitchcock would have been proud to make... It is a movie about adults whose lives have dignity and whose choices matter to them. And it is also one hell of a thriller

     —Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Powerful, assured, full of beautiful imagery and thankfully devoid of easy moralizing, it also offers a performance of surprising skill and sensitivity from Ford

     —Time Out

One of those lucky movies which works out well on all counts and shows that there are still craftsmen lurking in Hollywood

     —Halliwell's Film Guide

It's Weir's delicacy of touch that impresses the most. He ably juggles the various elements of the story and makes the violence seem even more shocking when it's played out on the fields of Amish denial

     —Radio Times

This is an immensely involving story that has so much unstated human emotion running through it that the actual thriller elements may almost seem like hangers on at times. Arrow provides a release with generally solid technical merits and some really outstanding supplements. Highly recommended.
