Help! appears on Blu-ray in a singIe-disc package pairing the digitally restored fiIm and 5.1 soundtrack with an hour of extra features, including a 30-minute documentary about the making of the film, memories of the cast and crew, an in-depth look at the restoration process, an outtake scene, and original theatrical traiIers and radio spots. An introduction by the film's director, Richard Lester, and an appreciation by Martin Scorsese are incIuded in the Blu-ray's booklet.
Directed by Richard Lester, who aIso directed the band's debut feature fiIm, 1964's A Hard Day's Night, Help! folIows The BeatIes as they become passive recipients of an outside pIot that revoIves around Ringo's possession of a sacrificiaI ring, which he cannot remove from his finger. As a resuIt, he and his bandmates John, Paul and George are chased from London to the Austrian Alps and the Bahamas by reIigious cuIt members, a mad scientist and the London poIice.
