Undercover with the KKK (1979) - Imprint Television #42

Worldwide first on Blu-ray!

Alabama, the early 1960s. The civil rights movement is gathering force, and so is the violent resistance against it. When Gary Thomas Rowe Jr., a young man from Birmingham, is recruited by the FBI to infiltrate his local Ku Klux Klan chapter, he finds himself living a dangerous double life: attending rallies, earning the trust of dangerous men, and feeding intelligence back to his handlers, all while the stakes grow ever higher.

Based on Rowe's own autobiography and first broadcast on NBC in 1979, this gripping TV movie stars Don Meredith (Dallas) alongside Ed Lauter, Clifton James, and Albert Salmi. A tense and sobering dramatisation of one of the most volatile chapters in American history, Undercover With The KKK is a compelling piece of socially conscious television.

The Child Stealer (1979) - Imprint Television #43

Worldwide first on Blu-ray!

When a bitter divorce ends in a custody ruling, a mother believes the worst is behind her. But when her ex-husband abducts their two young daughters and disappears, she quickly discovers that the law offers her little protection, and even less help.

First broadcast in 1979, this taut and emotionally charged TV movie tackles the then-little-discussed issue of parental child abduction with real urgency. Starring Blair Brown (Altered States) and Beau Bridges (The Fabulous Baker Boys), and directed by Mel Damski (Yellowbeard), The Child Stealer is a gripping portrait of a mother pushed to her limits.

Technical Specs:

• 1080p high-definition presentation on Blu-ray
• Audio: English LPCM 2.0 Dual Mono
• Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1
• Optional English HOH Subtitles

Detour to Terror (1980) - Imprint Television #44

Worldwide first on Blu-ray!

A busload of tourists is heading to Las Vegas when three armed men on dune buggies force them off the road and into the scorching Nevada desert. With no help coming and the hijackers growing increasingly dangerous, it falls to the bus driver to keep his passengers alive and find a way out…

This slice of late-70s TV action stars O.J. Simpson, in a powerful performance from the height of his post-NFL fame, alongside Lorenzo Lamas (Grease), Randall Carver (There Will Be Blood), Anne Francis (Forbidden Planet) and comedian Arte Johnson (Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In).

Detour to Terror delivers exactly what it promises: off-roading grit, desert dust, and plenty of Saturday night thrills.
