Heroes season 1
26/05/2007 . Source: Jessica Martin 
TV superhero series comes to DVD for those that haven't seen it on cable. It's a seven-disc set featuring the 73-minute premiere episode. Available on DVD and HD DVD August 28th, 2007 from Universal. Buy Heroes in the USA - or Buy Heroes in the UK  "'Heroes' is one of those rare television series with such broad popular and critical appeal that it has become an instant cultural phenomenon," said Craig Kornblau, President of Universal Studios Home Entertainment to SFcrowsnest. "With the extraordinary array of compelling bonus content offered on both the DVD and HD DVD respectively, this title, which has already generated tremendous anticipation among consumers, is well poised to be one of the greatest, must-have DVDs of the year."
Mohinder Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy), a genetics professor from Chennai, picks up his late father's research and makes an astonishing discovery - a seemingly random group of people around the world are developing astonishing super powers.
From a drug-addicted artist (Santiago Cabrera), who paints the future and an ambitious politician (Adrian Pasdar) who can fly, to a New York cop who hears other people's thoughts (Greg Grunberg) and a Japanese computer programmer (Masi Oka) who can distort the space time continuum, these new Heroes seem to have a shared destiny.
Creator Tim Kring ("Crossing Jordan") fashions a complex world full of hidden clues, plot twists and suspense-filled conundrums for a story about average people who are confronting the existence of inexplicable super powers.
Also starring Milo Ventimiglia, Hayden Panettiere, Ali Larter, Noah Gray-Cabey, Leonard Roberts, Tawny Cypress and Jack Colman, "Heroes: Season 1" is packed with special bonuses that take viewers deeper into the series.
The seven-disc DVD set has 50 deleted scenes plus the 73-minute Tim Kring cut of the original series premiere that has never aired on television and much more. The seven-disc DVD version is priced at $59.98.
