The 1991 drama The Indian Runner marks the writing and directorial debut of actor Sean Penn (Into the Wild).

David Morse (TV’s Treme), Viggo Mortensen (A Dangerous Method), Charles Bronson (The Mechanic), Valeria Golino (Giulia Doesn’t Date at Night), Patricia Arquette (Boyhood), Sandy Dennis (That Cold Day in the Park) and Dennis Hopper (The American Dreamer) star in the piece, which plays as a raw, intense drama filled with emotion and some genuine substance.

As deputy sheriff in a small town, Joe (Morse) leads a pretty simple life with his loving family. However, his idyllic existence abruptly changes when his troubled brother Frank (Mortensen) arrives unannounced at Joe’s door. Much to the chagrin of his wife (Golino), Joe wants to help Frank make a better life for himself. But Joe soon discovers that this is a formidable task. And so Frank continues his destructive behavior, Joe decides he’s had enough, and they square off in a final showdown that pits blood against blood.

Special features in this new edition of the film include a featurette that includes new interview with director Penn and stars Mortensen and Morse, all of whom are very forthcoming about the production and their collaboration.
