Dava Sobel's bestselling true story comes alive in this extraordinary adaptation starring Jeremy Irons and Michael Gambon.

DVD Features:

• Behind the Scenes Featurette, Interactive Menu; Scene Selection.
• Brilliantly adapted from Dava Sobel's bestselling book of the same name.
• The true story of the greatest technological challenge of the 18th century--how to determine longitude at sea.

Jeremy Irons (Die Hard III, Reversal of Fortune) and Michael Gambon (The Singing Detective, Dancing at Lughnasa) star as men living parallel lives two centuries apart in this mesmerizing adaptation of Dava Sobel's bestselling book.

Gambon plays 18th-century watchmaker John Harrison, who spent 40 years solving the greatest scientific problem of his age--how to determine longitude at sea. Irons is Rupert Gould, a World War I officer who discovers the wreckage of one of Harrison's timepieces and becomes obsessed with restoring the work of the long-ago genius.

As each man approaches their goal, they are met with increasing opposition, which only serves to strengthen their resolve.

Exquisitely scripted and driven by Irons' and Gambon's masterful performances, LONGITUDE is a kaleidoscopic saga of discovery and determination that resonates long after the credits roll.
