Spielberg's 1981 film has undergone a complete restoration for the IMAX exclusive one-week release, beginning September 7, digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience with proprietary IMAX DMR (Digital Re-mastering) technology.

"When I saw the stunning quality of the picture and heard the enhanced sound in an IMAX theatre, I was quite literally blown away and hope that audiences will enjoy the experience as much as I did," says the legendary director.

The crystal-clear images coupled with IMAX's customized theatre geometry and powerful digital audio promises to create "a unique environment that will make audiences feel as if they are in the movie."
