The Restorers - 10th Anniversary

Product Description

The Restorers is a documentary film about warbird and vintage aircraft restorers and the planes they resurrect from the graves of history. Their works often haven't flown in over 50 years and are in the worst of conditions. These individuals are similar to classic car enthusiasts. Their obsession, however, is deeper and obscenely more expensive.

Our story examines the spectrum of restorers. From the everyday guy who is rebuilding a biplane in his garage to the corporation that specializes in warbird reconstruction, The Restorers will find out what makes them tick.

Many antique aircraft perform at today's airshows and races worldwide. How did those aircraft get there? How did they survive all these years? What type of person does it take to sink sometimes millions of dollars and years of their life into a plane that may be just a footnote in history? Come and find out.

The Restorers was first released in 2003. Now, to celebrate the film's 10th anniversary, we offer this Special Edition release. Along with a great HD transfer of the movie's original film negative, a new Surround Sound soundtrack has been produced. The disc also has been packed with new extras; interviews, missing scenes, and Making Of featurettes. See The Restorers like you've never seen it before.
