OVERVIEW: “A great film that will stand the test of time” (Film.com), Academy Award®-winning directors Joel and Ethan Coen’s (No Country For Old Men) “vastly entertaining” (Rolling Stone) and epic tale of frontier justice TRUE GRIT debuts in a Blu-ray™/DVD Combo Pack with Digital Copy and on standard DVD June 7, 2011 from Paramount Home Entertainment. The gritty and memorable film has been embraced by audiences and critics alike, earning over $165 million at the U.S. box office, nominated for 10 Academy Awards and named by more than 75 reviewers as one of the top 10 films of the year. Jeff Bridges stars as
Rooster Cogburn, an irascible U.S. Marshal hired by a 14-year-old girl (newcomer Hailee Steinfeld) to bring her father’s killer (Josh Brolin) to justice. Matt Damon is an overzealous Texas Ranger who is also tracking the killer, hoping to capture him and bring him to trial for another murder.
SYNOPSIS:
Fourteen-year-old Mattie Ross’s (Hailee Steinfeld) father has
been shot in cold blood by the coward Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin),
and she is determined to bring him to justice. Enlisting the
help of a trigger-happy, drunken U.S. Marshal, Rooster Cogburn
(Jeff Bridges), she sets out with him — over his objections
— to hunt down Chaney. Her father’s blood demands that she
pursue the criminal into Indian territory and find him before a
Texas Ranger named LeBoeuf (Matt Damon) catches him and brings
him back to Texas for the murder of another man.
