Kino Video has confirmed that it will release on Blu-ray director Norman Jewison's
F.I.S.T. (1978), starring Sylvester Stallone, Rod Steiger, Brian Dennehy, Peter Boyle, Melinda Dillon, Tony Lo Bianco, and Kevin Conway. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on February 10, 2015.
Sylvester Stallone stars in this hard-hitting, boldly ambitious drama that powerfully reveals a significant slice of American history. As union leader Johnny Kovak, Stallone's performance confirmed his stature as one of Hollywood's hottest stars.
Closely paralleling history, the film follows the rise and fall of Kovak, from his beginnings as an idealistic blue-collar worker to his final position as head of one of the country's most powerful unions: the Federation of Inter-State Truckers. But there are no unscarred heroes in this world. To achieve his dream of justice for the working man, Kovak must accept the muscle of organized crime. Ultimately,
F.I.S.T. is a story of idealism corrupted and betrayed.
