The critically-acclaimed, Academy Award nominated film will be getting the Blu-ray treatment in June.

In an early announcement to retailers, Magnolia has revealed that 'A War' will hit Blu-ray on June 7.

Company commander Claus M. Pedersen (Pilou Asbæk) and his men are stationed in an Afghan province. Meanwhile back in Denmark Claus' wife Maria (Tuva Novotny) is trying to hold everyday life together with a husband at war and three children missing their father. During a routine mission, the soldiers are caught in heavy crossfire and in order to save his men, Claus makes a decision that has grave consequences for him - and his family back home.

In his Academy Award Nominated film, A War, director Tobias Lindholm employs those who have been closest to the conflict, using Danish soldiers and Taliban warriors, relatives and refugees, as he strives towards realism.

The Blu-ray will feature 1080p video, lossless 5.1 audio, and supplements include: Interview with Writer/Director Tobias Lindholm and Colonel Arnold Strong; Los Angeles Film Screening Reactions; and Theatrical Trailer.
