Combining expressionist visuals, film noir atmosphere, and dystopian science fiction, Alex Proyas film has become a landmark cult classic for fans of mind-bending cinema. Arrow Video From Alex Proyas, visionary director of The Crow, comes Dark City, a mind-bending science fiction thriller set in a shadowy world where the sun never rises and nothing is quite what it seems. John Murdoch (Rufus Sewell) wakes in a hotel bathtub with no memory of who he is or how he got there, but theres a body on the floor with bloody spirals carved into the flesh and a voice on the phone that tells him to flee.

With a cast that includes Kiefer Sutherland (The Lost Boys), William Hurt (A History of Violence), Jennifer Connelly (Phenomena) and Richard OBrien (The Rocky Horror Picture Show), and a script by Proyas, Lem Dobbs (Kafka) and David S.
