Brand new factory sealed dvd set with a slipsleeve case has a deep cut through the upc code and plastic case underneath. This is done at the factory and is known as a "cut-out", which means it is no longer being manufactured or a deleted title. That being said, this factory created blemish is not grounds for any returns. The term comes from vinyl records that ceased to be made. Factory's would put a cut-out or a small notch on the top corner to indicate inventory that is out of print. You can still find albums with this. The practice has accelerated with dvd's as many titles are no longer being made. PRISONER begins with a young man (Jim Caviezel) who wakes up in the desert with amnesia. He finds himself in the middle of a pursuit as mysterious guards chase an elderly man through a canyon. The old man dies soon after, but not until he passes a message on to the younger man: "Tell them I got out ". The younger man arrives in an enigmatic community, whose residents inform him that its simply known as "the Village". Everyone he meets is only known by a number--he learns his number is 6--and he discovers that they too have no memory or knowledge of the outside world either. Number 6 is unable to remember his real name and recalls only snippets of his life in New York City. He had met and seduced a mysterious woman in a diner. He finds himself locked in a battle of wills against Number 2 (Ian McKellen), the Village's leader who goes to great lengths to make Number 6 assimilate. Number 6, meanwhile, tries to contact "dreamers"--Village residents who, like him, have been experiencing flashbacks of memory of their previous lives outside of the Village. Along the way he befriends Number 147, a Village taxi driver; Number 313, a doctor with whom Number 6 develops a romantic connection, but who has her own secrets; and "11-12", Number 2's son, who begins to question the reality of the Village. This a brilliantly reimagined, six-episode sci-fi riff on the old Patrick McGoohan series of the 1960s.
