Shaft 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray brings Gordon Parks’s groundbreaking 1971 thriller roaring into modern clarity, following private eye John Shaft (Richard Roundtree) as he stalks the streets of gritty seventies New York. After being hired to rescue the kidnapped daughter of a Harlem mob boss, Shaft is pulled into a volatile clash between uptown power players and downtown gangsters. A landmark of the blaxploitation era and a bold expression of Black Power–era style, the film remains iconic for Roundtree’s cool presence, Parks’s kinetic direction, and Isaac Hayes’s legendary funk and soul score.
