Tim Story's buddy cop comedy will arrest Blu-ray in April. Pre-orders are available now!
In an early announcement to retailers, Universal is preparing to release 'Ride Along' on Blu-ray on April 15th.
For the past two years, high school security guard Ben (Kevin Hart) has been trying to show decorated detective James (Ice Cube) that he's more than just a video game junkie who's unworthy of James' sister. When Ben finally gets accepted into the police academy, James invites him on a ride-along designed to scare the hell out of him and ultimately demonstrate if Ben has what it takes to take care of his sister. But when the wild night leads them to the most notorious criminal in the city, James will find that his new partner's rapid-fire mouth is just as dangerous as the bullets speeding at it. Also starring John Leguizamo and Laurence Fishburne, 'Ride Along' is an action-packed comedy with big thrills and even bigger laughs.
The Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy combo pack will feature 1080p video, a lossless 5.1 soundtrack, and supplements will include: Gag Reel; It Was A Good Day: On The Set Of Ride Along; Atlanta – The Character; and Feature Commentary With Director Tim Story.
