British distributors Entertainment One have officially announced that they will release on Blu-ray director Bill Condon's The Fifth Estate (2013), starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Daniel Brühl, Carice van Houten, and Anatole Taubman. The release will be available for purchase online and in shops across the United Kingdom on February 17th.
Driven to expose corporate crimes and government secrets no matter what the cost, activist Julian Assange (Cumberbatch) and computer hacker Daniel Domscheit-Berg (Bruhl) team up to become the underground watchdogs of the privileged and powerful. As their Wikileaks organisation starts to gather support and influence across the globe so the stakes are raised; pitching them into conflict with the US intelligence agencies and putting the lives of thousands in danger.
