Dark Blue (2002) 4K UHD + Blu-ray Limited Edition Hardbox + Hardback Booklet – Imprint Collection #566

SWORN TO PROTECT. SWORN TO SERVE. SWORN TO SECRECY.

Neo-noir crime thriller Dark Blue comes to 4K UHD for the first time worldwide, fully restored from the original 35mm negative. 

Starring Kurt Russell, Ving Rhames, and Brendan Gleeson, director Ron Shelton helmed this tense tale of corruption and obsession, packed with explosive drama and twisted police brutality.

Set in the Los Angeles Police Department in 1992, Dark Blue is a thriller that takes place just days before the acquittal of four white officers in the beating of black motorist Rodney King and the subsequent L.A. riots. In this racially charged climate, the LAPD’s elite Special Investigations Squad is assigned a quadruple homicide. As they work the case, Detective Eldon (Kurt Russell) tutors SIS rookie Bobby (Scott Speedman) in the realities of police intimidation and corruption.

Limited Edition 4K UHD & Blu-ray 2-Disc Hardbox with an exclusive 60-page hardback booklet, plus hours of Special Features.

1500 copies only.
