More about this historic Blu-ray release of The Prisoner TV series

Fully restored from the original film elements with newly remixed 5.1 surround sound and featuring hours of bonus material never released in North America, The Prisoner: Blu-ray Edition is a fitting tribute to the creative vision of the late executive producer and star Patrick McGoohan.

After resigning from a top-secret position, a man (McGoohan) is abducted and spirited from his London home to a mysterious place known only as The Village. Village Residents, known only by numbers, are held captive because each possesses valuable knowledge. The Prisoner, now known as Number Six, battles to protect his mind – and his humanity – while struggling to discover the identity of Number One and escape captivity.
