    Jim Caviezel Stars In New Line Home Entertainment's Edgy Revenge Thriller Highwaymen Debuting On DVD and VHS August 24

    LOS ANGELES, CA (June 14, 2004) – Jim Caviezel is the self appointed avenger of his wife’s murder in Highwaymen, an edge-of-your-seat, action thriller available on DVD and VHS from New Line Home Entertainment on August 24, 2004. Robert Harmon, director of the cult shocker The Hitcher, crafts a complex tale of rampage on the open highway highlighted by intense action, fast cars and mile-a-minute thrills. Highwaymen is available on DVD at a $19.97 SRP and on VHS at a $22.99 SRP. Single unit order due date is July 27, 2004.

    The DVD features both widescreen (2.35:1) and fullscreen versions of the film plus DTS, 5.1 Surround Sound, Stereo Surround Sound, English and Spanish subtitles, closed captions and animated menus. The original theatrical trailer is also included along with other New Line Home Entertainment trailers.

    Co-starring with Caviezel are Rhona Mitra (TV’s The Practice, Sweet Home Alabama), Colm Feore (Paycheck, The Chronicles of Riddick) and Frankie Faison (Red Dragon, the upcoming White Chicks).
    Caviezel (The Passion of the Christ, Frequency) is Rennie Cray, a man hell-bent on avenging his wife’s death by a murderous driver. James Fargo (Colm Feore) is the chilling killer whose body has been reduced to a combination of human parts, prosthetics, straps and harnesses. Creative retrofits have transformed his 1972 Cadillac into an extension of his own body, a killing machine that he uses to torture and taunt unsuspecting motorists on the highways of America. Also on the case is a traffic investigator who recognizes that Cray, in his obsession to stop Fargo, is starting to blur the line between right and wrong. When one of his victims survives an attack, Fargo becomes fixated, making her the bait in a chillingly dangerous cat-and-mouse game that culminates in an explosive showdown.
