Synopsis:
When callous thugs beat Mike Hammer (Ralph Meeker) senseless and viciously murder the gorgeous blonde he`s been trying to help, the hard-boiled detective retaliates the only way he can: by hitting first and asking questions later. Cutting a brutal swathe through the city`s sleazy underside, Hammer uncovers a mysterious black container whose deadly contents not only solve the murder... but trigger an apocalyptic climax as well.

A brilliant film noir classic based on Mickey Spillane`s best-seller, Robert Aldrich`s Kiss Me Deadly has not been seen in its entirety since its initial theatrical release. Missing for nearly half a century, the original ending - containing over a minute of crucial footage that clarifies decades of false interpretations - has been found and is featured in this DVD edition. In order to illustrate the vastly different impressions left by each version, the altered/shortened ending has been included as well.
