Zendaya Electrifies 'Challengers' for a Bare-Bones Blu-ray on July 9

The sexy tennis drama from Amazon MGM Studios starring Zendaya, Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist is hitting Blu-ray on July 9.

The film is directed by Luca Guadagnino, features music by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, and is rated R for language, sexual content and graphic nudity.

From visionary filmmaker Luca Guadagnino, Challengers stars Zendaya as Tashi Duncan, a former tennis prodigy turned coach and a force of nature who makes no apologies for her game on and off the court. Married to a champion on a losing streak (Mike Faist - West Side Story), Tashi's strategy for her husband's redemption takes a surprising turn when he must face off against the washed-up Patrick (Josh O'Connor - The Crown) -- his former best friend and Tashi's former boyfriend. As their pasts and presents collide, and tensions run high, Tashi must ask herself, what will it cost to win.
