Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of Don Cheadle's film Miles Ahead (2015), starring Don Cheadle, Emayatzy Corinealdi, Ewan McGregor, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Keith Stanfield. The release will be available for purchase on July 14.
Official synopsis: Miles Ahead is a wildly entertaining and moving exploration of one of 20th century music's creative geniuses, Miles Davis, featuring a career defining performance by Oscar nominee Don Cheadle in the title role. Working from a script he co-wrote with Steven Baigelman, Cheadle's bravura directorial debut is not a conventional bio-pic but rather a unique, no-holds barred portrait of a singular artist in crisis.
In the midst of a dazzling and prolific career at the forefront of modern jazz innovation, Miles Davis (Cheadle) virtually disappears from public view for a period of five years in the late 1970s. Alone and holed up in his home, he is beset by chronic pain from a deteriorating hip, his musical voice stifled and numbed by drugs and pain medications, his mind haunted by unsettling ghosts from the past.
