Win Nicolas Winding Refn’s seminal ‘Pusher’ Trilogy 4K UHD

Hot on the heels of its lauded Limited Edition release, Second Sight Films has announced that all three seminal Pusher films will be available in new Standard Editions in both 4K UHD and Blu-ray are out now and we have a 4K UHD for you to win.

In the mid-90s, one-to-watch writer-director Nicolas Winding Refn exploded onto the scene with a powerful debut feature Pusher – the brutal and gritty Danish film went on the earn critical acclaim and awards galore and put the young filmmaker firmly on the map. Along with two more films in the Pusher series, he continued to carve out a hugely successful career with work including the seminal Drive, Bronson, The Neon Demon and many more.

Pusher

In the explosive first film Pusher we meet Frank, played by The Bridge and Killing Eve favourite Kim Bodnia in his first leading role, as a small-time drug dealer hustling in the streets of Copenhagen. Although high on confidence, he’s low on foresight and over the course of one manic week, Frank ploughs headlong into a deadly spiral towards his own destruction.

Deep in debt to a ruthless Serbian gangster, he scrambles through the city’s underworld, leaning on old friends, burning fragile loyalties and sinking deeper into paranoia and violence. As his options narrow and the city turns colder around him, Frank is forced to confront some hard truths and decide how far he’s willing to go to stay alive

Pusher II

Pusher II takes us into the world of Tonny, played by the fresh-faced rising star… Mads Mikkelsen, in an incredibly powerful turn. Fresh out of prison, the former low-level sidekick of Frank – Tonny – is hungry to prove himself. Returning to the streets of Copenhagen, he realises that the world has moved on without him.

His formidable crime boss father sees him as a failure and his old friends don’t trust him and he’s now a dad himself but has no clue how to behave as one. Desperately seeking respect and connection, Tonny quickly falls back into the only life he’s ever known… the criminal underworld, but it’s a hard nut to crack and as he moves from one botched heist to another, fracturing relationships along the way, he starts to learn that survival might require more than just brute force.

Pusher III

In Pusher III we follow Milo, played by the brilliant Zlatko Buri, who, having risen through the ranks in the previous films, is now a seasoned drug lord. Once he was feared but now he’s faltering. With his daughter’s birthday party looming, Milo is trying to keep his nose clean and be a good father but must juggle the challenges of being a mob boss amidst the rise of a new generation of reckless dealers who are encroaching on his territory.

In one chaotic day everything starts to crumble. Faced with a botched heroin deal, a mounting body count, and his own failing authority, Milo is dragged back into a world he can no longer control. As desperation replaces reason and old instincts take hold, the once-powerful kingpin finds himself alone and in a nightmare world of paranoia, violence and regret.

The trilogy will be available in two versions – Pusher Standard Edition 4K UHD and Pusher Standard Edition Blu-ray and includes restorations by director Nicolas Winding Refn, complete with a slew of special features, please see full list below.
