Information

StudioCanal presents the brand-new restorations of two classics from legendary director Enzo G Castellari (The Inglorious Bastards) - the stunning Poliziotteschi crime thriller High Crime (1973), starring Franco Nero (Django) and said to have been inspired by Bullitt; and iconic Spaghetti Western Kill Them All And Come Back Alone (1968), starring Chuck Connors (Branded).

In High Crime, Vice-Commissioner Belli (Nero), the assistant chief inspector in Genoa, is investigating a series of crimes committed by a drug-running gang. He approaches the apparently reformed old-fashioned gangster Cafiero (Fernando Rey) for information on the gang, not knowing that Cafiero plans to take care of them himself. When Belli's boss is murdered, he takes over as Commissioner and fights on, hoping for a chance to avenge his boss and take down the underworld organisation.

Part of the StudioCanal Cult Classics collection, High Crime is released on DVD and Blu-ray 6th June 2022 in the UK for the first time.
