Blue Underground has dated and detailed its upcoming 4K Blu-ray release of Bill Lustig's
Uncle Sam (1997), starring William Smith, P.J. Soles, Isaac Hayes, Timothy Bottoms, and Bo Hopkins. The release will be available for purchase on June 21.
Label description: It's Fourth Of July Weekend, and the recently discovered corpse of Sgt. Sam Harper – killed by 'friendly fire' during the first Gulf War – is returned to his all-American hometown. But when Sam rises from the dead to punish the unpatriotic, only his young nephew and a bitter Korean War veteran (Soul icon Isaac Hayes of SHAFT and SOUTH PARK fame) can stop his red-blooded rampage. Draft dodgers, tax cheats, crooked politicians and flag-burners beware: Uncle Sam wants you… DEAD!
Timothy Bottoms (THE LAST PICTURE SHOW), Bo Hopkins (THE WILD BUNCH), William Smith (FAST COMPANY), P.J. Soles (HALLOWEEN, CARRIE) and Oscar® nominee Robert Forster (JACKIE BROWN) co-star in this zombie horror hit directed by William Lustig (MANIAC, RELENTLESS) and written by Larry Cohen (GOD TOLD ME TO, THE STUFF). Now Blue Underground is thrilled to present UNCLE SAM in a sparkling new 25th Anniversary restoration, scanned in 4K 16-bit from the original 35mm camera negative, with Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos audio, loaded with illuminating Extras!
