A FEDERAL AGENT IS DEAD. A KILLER IS LOOSE. AND THE CITY OF ANGELS IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE.

In the seventies, one of America’s finest ever maestros behind the camera, William Friedkin, made The French Connection, The Exorcist and Sorcerer. In the eighties, he equalled them with the formidable To Live and Die in L.A., one of the most stylish thrillers the decade had to offer.

When his partner is murdered just days before retirement, Secret Service Agent Richard Chance (William Petersen, Manhunter) begins an obsessive hunt for his killer – counterfeiter and all-round psychopath Eric Masters, played by Willem Dafoe at his villainous prime.

Beautifully shot by Robby Müller (Repo Man, Paris, Texas) and with a driving score by British new wave act Wang Chung, To Live and Die in L.A. looks and sounds exceptional in this breathtaking 4K restoration from the original camera negative.
