Touch of Evil (1958) 4K Ultra HD (US Edition)

Directed by Orson Welles, A Touch of Evil is a gripping film noir set on the U.S.–Mexico border. When a car bomb kills an American businessman, Mexican narcotics officer Miguel Vargas (Charlton Heston) investigates, only to clash with corrupt police captain Hank Quinlan (Welles). As Vargas uncovers Quinlan’s pattern of planting evidence, tensions escalate amid racial, moral, and political complexities. Meanwhile, Vargas’s wife (Janet Leigh) becomes a pawn in a sinister scheme. Renowned for its moody cinematography, long tracking shot, and Welles’s commanding presence, the film is a masterclass in suspense, corruption, and the blurred lines between justice and obsession.
