Excalibur Limited Edition

£29.99

Released: 23rd February 2026. FORGED BY A GOD. FORETOLD BY A WIZARD. FOUND BY A KING. From John Boorman, the director of Point Blank, Deliverance and Zardoz comes the definitive cinematic telling of the life and enduring legend of King Arthur, from birth to death and beyond. Behold, the Sword of Power! Excalibur! Forged when the world was young, and bird and beast and flower were one with man and death was but a dream. Given by Merlin to Uther Pendragon to unite the land in peace but wasted on lust. Driven into stone by Uther’s dying hand, there to await the coming of a true King. A journey into the wonders and horrors of the imagination, this is the story of Arthur, the knights of the round table, the golden age of Camelot, the quest for the Holy Grail and of course, the wizard, Merlin. With an extraordinary cast that includes Helen Mirren, Gabriel Byrne, Nicol Williamson and Liam Neeson, Oscar-nominated cinematography by Alex Thomson (Legend) and a thundering score by Trevor Jones, Excalibur returns in a stunning new restoration. From the blood and mud of the battlefield, to the glowing green of ancient woods and gleaming gold of Camelot, experience Excalibur as you never have before. 3-DISC LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS Brand new 4K restoration from the original 35mm negative by Arrow Films presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.66:1 for the first time on home video  Contains both the 141-minute Theatrical Cut and the 120-minute TV Version of the film  Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing  Reversible sleeve featuring two original artwork options  Collectors’ perfect-bound booklet containing writing by Charlie Brigden, K.A.
