comes to Blu-ray™ with Digital HD including UltraViolet™ for the first time ever on October 15, 2013 in

SYNOPSIS: Academy Award® winner Clint Eastwood returns to his familiar Old West stomping grounds in his
internationally acclaimed role of “The Man with No Name” in High Plains Drifter. This time, The Stranger
(Eastwood) mysteriously appears out of the heat waves of the desert and rides into the lawless, sin-ridden
town of Lago. After making a name for himself with a string of blazing gun battles, The Stranger is hired by the
townspeople to provide protection from three ruthless gunmen just out of jail. Directed by Clint Eastwood
himself, this pulse-pounding action-packed film is recognized as one of his signature western classics.
