Launching on DVD and Blu-ray is the World War II adventure film Company of Heroes directed by Don Michael Paul and based on Relic Entertainment’s highest rated real-time strategy video game of the same name. It features a star-studded cast of Hollywood veterans that include Tom Sizemore, Chad Michael Collins, Vinnie Jones, Neal McDonough and Jürgen Prochnow.
Inspired by true events, the film follows a company of American soldiers lost behind enemy lines during the last major German offensive known as Battle of the Bulge -- the largest and bloodiest battle of World War II. While trying to reunite with the Allies forces, they make a shocking discovery that Hitler is creating an atomic bomb. Learning of a secret allied mission to retrieve a defecting German scientist in charge of a secret weapons program, the heroic troop and an escaping POW go on a daring raid into the heart of Nazi Germany to pursue the scientist. Facing impossible odds, they risk their lives to foil the Fuhrer’s catastrophic plot.
DVD and Blu-ray special features include a deleted scene and two featurettes. “In the Trenches: Filming Company of Heroes” takes a behind-the-scenes look at how the popular video game was made into a movie. “Fabricating World War II” takes an in-depth look at the weapons and vehicles used and created for the film.
Company of Heroes 2, the second installment of the popular video game series, is slated for release later this year.
