"Provocative, moving and powerful."- Total Film

"A full assault on your senses, this emotional roller-coaster is easily one of the best movies so far this year – go see."- The SunBrace yourself for emotional impact as the powerful and extraordinary Crash is released on DVD. Co-written and directed by Paul Haggis (writer of Million Dollar Baby), and featuring a stellar ensemble cast including Don Cheadle, Thandie Newton, Sandra Bullock, Matt Dillon and Brendan Fraser, Crash is released to buy and rent on DVD and rent on VHS from 5th December 2005 by Pathé Distribution Ltd.A multiple-car crash investigation headed by Detective Graham Waters (Don Cheadle, Ocean's 11 & 12, Hotel Rwanda), forces an in-depth examination of a series of dramatic events involving a multicultural cross section of LA residents from the previous thirty-six hours. The chain of events is triggered when the district attorney, Richard Cabot (Brendan Fraser, The Quiet American, Gods and Monsters) and his wife Jean (Sandra Bullock, Murder By Numbers, 28 Days), have their car hijacked at gunpoint by two young black men, Peter (Larenz Tate, Ray, A Man Apart) and Anthony (Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges, 2Fast 2Furious).

In another incident, veteran LAPD cop (Matt Dillon, Wild Things) takes out his racist frustrations in a horrific abuse of power on an affluent and innocent black couple (Thandie Newton, Mission: Impossible II) in full view of his young and disapproving partner (Ryan Phillippe, Gosford Park, Cruel Intentions). Elsewhere, a distrusting Iranian shop-owner engages in a tense argument with the Mexican locksmith who has just given him some friendly advice about his security arrangements.

As the night wears on these chance encounters prove their drastic significance for everyone involved. Each of them must face up to the consequences that their actions have had for others, but also to the surprising revelations they discover about themselves and their prejudices.

Packed with special features on DVD, Crash includes a commentary by Paul Haggis, Don Cheadle and Bobby Moresco, a behind-the-scenes featurette, and a bonus music video. Witness the wreckage that human prejudice can create in one of the most intelligent and thought-provoking films of the year and ask yourself the question – do you know who you are?
