Springfield Rifle Gallops onto Blu-ray from Warner Archive on April 29

Springfield Rifle (1952) returns in its full, cinematic splendor this April with Warner Archive's latest Blu-ray release. Starring the venerable Gary Cooper, this war drama delves into the complex strategies and espionage during the United States' Civil War. Union Major Lex Kearny, played by Cooper, feigns court-martial to secretly expose a treacherous band of horse thieves supplying the Confederate forces. The narrative intensifies as Kearny, perceived by many as a double agent, races against time to prevent critical military losses while facing his own trial for espionage.

The film's release is enriched by Warner Archive's meticulous restoration process, presenting a NEW 4K RESTORATION FROM THE ORIGINAL CAMERA NEGATIVE. This carefully upgraded visual experience is complemented by a selection of engaging special features and original content from its initial theatrical journey.
