Newly Restored in HD! The stakes of the game are high, the rules hard, and each man and woman must play to win! Out of the sun-bleached woodwork, the players emerge. Cliff Hoyt (Charles Bronson, The White Buffalo), the ex-patriot American trying to forget. Gunther Beckdorff (Jason Robards, The Day After), the ex-Nazi seeking oblivion. And Marie Claire Allesandri (Dominique Sanda, The Conformist), the beautiful French woman in search of her missing lover. Against an explosive background, heightened by all the hopes, fears, greed and confusion of the post-war years, the three are thrown into an unforgettable tale of romance, adventure and intrigue. Wonderfully Directed by the great J. Lee Thompson (The Guns of Navarone, Cape Fear) and featuring a stellar cast that includes Fernando Rey (The French Connection I & II), Simon MacCorkindale (Death on the Nile), Camilla Sparv (Downhill Racer), Gilbert Roland (Barbarosa), Clifton James (Juggernaut), James Booth (Avenging Force), Martin LaSalle (Pickpocket) and Aldo Sambrell (Navajo Joe).

Tommy Lee Jones (The Package) and Samuel L. Jackson (Changing Lanes) deliver electrifying performances in this tense, superbly directed film about what happens when the rules that command a soldier become the rules that condemn him. Colonel Terry Childers (Jackson) is a patriot and a war hero. But when a peacekeeping mission he leads in Yemen goes terribly wrong, he finds himself facing court-martial. Accused of breaking the rules of engagement by killing unarmed civilians, Childers' only hope of vindication rests with comrade-in-arms Hayes Hodges (Jones), a military lawyer of questionable abilities. Together, they face the battle of their lives. From master filmmaker William Friedkin, director of The French Connection, The Exorcist and To Live and Die in L.A., and co-starring Guy Pearce, Bruce Greenwood, Anne Archer and Ben Kingsley, Rules of Engagement is a powerful, controversial thriller that examines the legal and ethical implications of military actions.
