Synopsis: Nominated for seven Academy Awards in 1967, and winner for Best Director, this "delightful, satirical comedy-drama" (Variety) is "wildly hilarious" (Boston Globe). Written by Calder Willingham and Buck Henry, the film career of two-time Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman (Rain Man) and cemented the stellar reputation of director Mike Nichols (The Birdcage). Pulsating with the rebellious spirit of a generation and haunting songs composed by Paul Simon and Dave Grusin and performed by Simon and Garfunkel, The Graduate is truly a "landmark film" (Leonard Maltin).
Shy Ben Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) is home from college with a degree in hand and an uncertain future in mind. Add to his confusion the aggressive advances by the wife of his father's business partner, the sexy Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft, Great Expectations), and poor Ben is completely lost. That is, until he meets the girl of his dreams, Elaine (Katherine Ross). One problem: Elaine is Mrs. Robinson's daughter! And she’ll stop at nothing to ensure that these two lovers remain separated forever!
Special features include behind-the-scenes documentary on the making of the film, exclusive interview with Dustin Hoffman, and collectible booklet.
