Cruising Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray presents William Friedkin’s controversial and uncompromising thriller in its fully restored theatrical form, capturing the raw intensity of late-1970s New York.

When a series of brutal murders targets members of the city’s underground gay scene, rookie cop Steve Burns (Al Pacino) is assigned to go undercover, immersing himself in a world far removed from his own. As the investigation deepens, the lines between identity, performance and reality begin to blur, pulling him into a psychological descent that becomes as dangerous as the killer he’s hunting.

Long surrounded by controversy, the film remains a striking and challenging piece of cinema, anchored by Pacino’s unsettling performance and Friedkin’s unflinching direction. This limited edition release restores the original vision in 4K while assembling an extensive collection of archival and newly produced material that explores its production, reception and lasting impact.
