Many of you know that we love the classic movie here at Blazing Minds and especially the Masters of Cinema collection, we have had the brilliant news from Eureka Entertainment that they will be releasing Hard Times, Walter Hill’s two-fisted action drama featuring Charles Bronson at his explosive best, as part of the Masters of Cinema Series in a Dual Format edition.
The American action auteur Walter Hill made a magnificent debut with this pulp triumph, featuring evocative period atmosphere and sterling performances from Charles Bronson and James Coburn.

Bronson plays a drifter suddenly caught up in the fight game during the Great Depression. Chaney, a down-on-his-luck loner, hops a freight train to New Orleans where, on the seedier side of town, he tries to make some quick money the only way he knows how – with his fists. Chaney approaches a hustler named Speed (James Coburn) and convinces him that he can win big money for them both.
We’ve been told by the Masters of Cinema Series that they are proud to present this gritty, vivid and engrossing, 1970s gem, which will be available on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK, and presented from a new 4K restoration, in a new Dual-Format edition.
