The launch of home video machines during the late 1970's introduced the crime of 'video piracy'. The machines not only afforded thieves a more convenient way to record and spread their illegal duplicates, but also gave audiences the new ability to watch movies in the comfort of their home. Unsurprisingly, the popularity of the Star Wars franchise and its much anticipated third installment "Return of the Jedi" (1983) led many a bootlegger to steal cinema film reels. To combat this, 20th Century Fox and Classic Cinemas created this 'Reward' poster offering £5,000 for any information about the theft and warning that any VHS tape copies found for sale were illegal. The original posters were printed in sets of two on one piece of paper (British Double Crown size) and then cut after printing, making one border thinner than the other.
