The 1982 cult classic makes the jump to Blu-ray in March.
In an early announcement to retailers, Shout Factory will release 'Timerider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann' on Blu-ray on March 19.
Lyle Swann (Fred Ward) is a champion off-road racer who accidentally gets zapped into a time-travel experiment and sent 100 years into the past!

Armed with only his wits and a map from an Exxon station, will Lyle Swann survive the Wild West and get back to his future?
