From the Press Release
The acclaimed bio-pic of the seminal 1960s rock group, The Doors, debuts on Blu-ray Disc this August. Directed by three-time Academy Award® winner Oliver Stone (Platoon, The Hand), and featuring an all-star cast including Val Kilmer (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang), Golden Globe® nominee Meg Ryan (You’ve Got Mail), Golden Globe® winner and Emmy® nominee Kyle MacLachlan (TV’s “Twin Peaks“), Emmy® nominee Kevin Dillon (HBO’s “Entourage”) and Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs, Tooth and Nail), the film provides an in-depth look at the legendary music outlaw who rocked America’s consciousness forever. Presented in 1080P High Definition 16 x 9 Widescreen and 7.1 DTS HD Master Audio, the disc also features audio commentary with director Oliver Stone, deleted scenes and featurettes.

The Doors cuts a jagged swath through the life of Jim Morrison, one of the most charismatic and exciting figures in the history of rock and roll. The film begins with Morrison’s arrival in California and explores his assimilation into the Venice Beach culture, his relationships with girlfriend Pamela Courson (Ryan) and future band mate Ray Manzarek (MacLachlan), and the origin of The Doors. As fame begins to take its toll, Morrison spirals downward into an inferno of drugs, alcohol, public obscenity and depression. The Doors is as much a tribute to the enduring power of the group’s music as it is a cautionary tale about the perils of both celebrity and substance abuse.
