Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has announced the Blu-ray release of director Frank Marshall's
Congo (1995), starring Laura Linney, Tim Curry, Ernie Hudson and Dylan Walsh. Based on author Michael Crichton's novel of the same name, the adventure thriller makes its Blu-ray debut on September 16th.
Synopsis: They've eluded heat-seeking missiles, gone eyeball-to-eyeball with enraged 5,000-pound hippos, hacked through a jungle curtain. Still, the expedition continues. Amy, a gorilla who was part of a university learning experiment, is at last returning home with the help of a professor (Dylan Walsh), electronics expert (Laura Linney), guide (Ernie Hudson) and explorer (Tim Curry). But she leads them to a place that's more than her home: it's the site of the fabled Lost City of Zinj and its diamond mines, as well as the habitat of a species of vicious and aggressive gray gorillas.
Warner has yet to detail tech specs or special features.
