The blu-rays may be Region B
A series of murders is shaking the dark alleys of New York. Brutally murdered bodies of gay men are turning up, and the police are baffled.
Young cop Steve Burns (Al Pacino) is assigned to infiltrate the city's S&M scene undercover. But the deeper he delves into this world of sex and violence, the more he begins to lose himself.
Hated by critics and condemned by the public, CRUISING was an absolute scandal upon its release in 1980. Legendary director William Friedkin (THE EXORCIST) broke taboos with his unflinching portrayal of New York's queer subculture.
Today, the psychological thriller starring Al Pacino is considered a classic of New Hollywood—one that has lost none of its fascination 45 years after its original release.
