Bishop, Q, Raheem, and Steel are Harlem friends who spend their days skipping school, getting in fights, and casually shoplifting. The only member of the group who has plans for the future is Q, who dreams of becoming a deejay. But one day Bishop happens to see James Cagney in White Heat and the film inspires him to buy a gun. His plan is to rob a corner store and split the money. Everyone goes along with the plan except for Q. They look for a way to get the power and respect they call Juice.

Paramount has widely released a 4K UHD SteelBook packaging variant for the 1992 film 'Juice.' The disc and digital content is identical to that found in the wide release. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below for more on the SteelBook's look and feel.

Paramount's glossy and smooth SteelBook will show some handling fingerprints in the darker areas. The front panel features the film's four main
characters: Raheem Porter, Roland Bishop, Quincy Powell, and Eric Thurman, mostly head and upper torso shots. They are either facing forward or
looking forward (their bodies a little angled to the side), with graffiti-strewn backdrop and foreground in evidence. The film's title appears in white in
large letters bottom center and the four main actor names appear in white across the top. The rear panel is very dark but depicts a record on a
turntable. The arm is along the right-hand side and the record's center, which is titled "Juice," is on the left. Studio logos and other matter appear in
white on the bottom left and right sides. The spine is black with a few dark gray elements in a couple of places. The film's title appears as it does on the
front, center. A white Paramount logo appears at the top and a white UltraHD Blu-ray logo appears at the bottom.
Inside, the digital copy code is tucked underneath the left-hand-side tabs. The lone UHD disc is situated on the right on a central hub. The inner print is
a two-panel spread that features the film's four main characters: Raheem Porter, Roland Bishop, Quincy Powell, and Eric Thurman. They are standing,
facing forward, in front of a graffiti-strewn backdrop.

This is a fairly basic SteelBook with a largely uninteresting front and interior panel, but the rear exterior with the record is unique. The movie is solid, as is the UHD. Recommended.
