Amazon.com essential video
When Max Klein (Jeff Bridges) finds himself facing imminent death as his plane hurls toward the ground, he finds inner calm and release from fear in his acceptance of his own unavoidable end. His panic erased, he helps other passengers to relax, and when he survives the impact, to escape. What follows is his difficult and complex journey back to emotional and spiritual equilibrium. Along the way he helps Carla (Rosie Perez), a woman smashed by the belief that her infant son's death in the accident was the direct result of her inability to hold him tightly enough, and alienates his wife, Laura (Isabella Rossellini), who tries desperately to understand what he's experiencing. Peter Weir's film is emotionally intense in an absolutely unsentimental way (very rare), and the complexity of the protagonist's experience is refreshing (if you don't mind feeling deeply). The handling of the crash sequences is chilling in an unsensational way, and the directing in general is a triumph of story-serving restraint. Not the usual Hollywood fare, but intensely rewarding for those who are tired of mind candy. --James McGrath

 Shame on Warner Bros. November 18, 2009
Ron Houghton (calgary AB)
Here we are over ten years since the DVD arrived, and Warner still disrespects great works in their own library. Full screen formats with no extras...WTF. Fearless, Running on Empty, Guilty by Suspicion, the list goes on. How long can a major studio keep their heads in the sand in regard to their customers?
 Very Very Satisfied! April 2, 2009

I have a widescreen LD why not on dvd? August 10, 2008

This is a great film, I have watched this many times and it always benefits from repeated viewings.I consider 'Fearless' along with 'The big Lebowski' and the underated 'Thunderbolt and lightfoot' to be Jeff Bridges finest achievements on film.
After reading some of the reviewer's comments as to weather or not this dvd is in it's correct theatre ratio let me assure you it is not.I have an old Laser disc of this film which still plays perfectly and it states on the back sleeve it is in it's correct 1:85.1 Theatre ratio.I have compared this to the Region 1 dvd and it is certainly missing information on both sides of the screen.Unfortunetly for now the only official W/S release is the old ntsc LD, fingers crossed for a future W/S dvd release with some much deserved extras......
Deeply emotional movie... July 30, 2008

Jeff Bridges plays the role of a man who travels and lives to tell how his plane... crashed. During the ordeal, Max Klein helps many, assisting a child traveling alone to face the inevitable.
Jeff Bridges plays the role with great conviction, as the man who loses the fear of death and therefore, is able to help others during the minutes prior to the crash, and then, during the aftermath of guilt, fear, and emotional trauma. The plot is of a subject that is rather complex and we see the impact it has on his relationship with his wife, Laura, played by Isabella Rossellini, who tries to understand what is happening to her husband, to their marriage, and to the relationship with their son, and sees how the changes in her husband are about to bring it all to an end.
The depth of the subjects dealt with in this movie will leave you drained, but you will find yourselves thinking and pondering on subjects that we all experience, on the dormant fear of travel, and the meaning of life. We were deeply touched by this film. Highly recommend watching it.
Better DVD on the way?? June 25, 2008

As is true for many of the people who wrote here, for me, seeing FEARLESS in its original, very short-term theatrical release was literally a stunning experience. It is one of those films that one finishes watching, and then walks back out into the sunlight (or the night) almost completely unaware of their surroundings, as you carry the world of the film with you for a long time, and then slowly re-enter your own life. For me, it was a life-changing experience, and ever since it was first released, it's been on my top 10 list permanently.
Regarding the DVD, here's the best info I have: I went to a lecture about a year ago (approximately?) by the film's cinematographer Alan Daviau. He showed his own personal print of the film, which SHINED -- and was projected in 1.85. When questioned by me and others about the pathetic dvd available, he told us he was in the next couple of weeks, going to supervise a new transfer, and that a new DVD would be released soon that would do the film justice. Well, we're still waiting -- but for those of you who, like me, are literally offended by the quality (wrong aspect ratio, bad transfer, bad sound) of the existing DVD -- hopefully, there's hope! Keep watching the skies . . .
