Rare Birds - DVD

Jeremy Irons (THE LION KING), Alicia Vikander (EX MACHINA), and Jim Broadbent (MOULIN ROUGE) bring to life this funny family adventure that's a visual tour de force. Trapped in a village ruled by the stubborn Kondor (Irons), Huppu the bird (Vikander) dreams of having the freedom to hatch her own egg. Suddenly, she, Kondor, and their friends are blasted to a distant land, and they must trust in a wise, eccentric bat to guide them on a strange, dazzling odyssey back to the tree they call home.

A big time cast, including Randolph Scott, Buster Crabbe, Barton MacLane, and Harry Carey, star in this feature about stampedes, Indian attacks, and plundering thieves! Directed by the esteemed Henry Hathaway (True Grit, Niagara).

An aging comedian tours the California desert, lost in a cycle of third-rate venues, novelty tourist attractions, and vain attempts to reach his estranged daughter. By day, he slogs through the barren landscape, inadvertently alienating every acquaintance. At night, he seeks solace in the animation of his onstage persona. Fueled by the promise of a lucrative Hollywood engagement and the possibility of rekindling a relationship with his daughter, he trudges through a series of increasingly surreal and volatile encounters.
