Over the Edge Blu-ray

Shout Factory has detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of Jonathan Kaplan's Over the Edge (1979), starring Matt Dillon, Vincent Spano, Harry Northup, Andy Romano, and Ellen Geer. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on March 5.

Description: With only a recreation center to distract them, most of the teenagers in the drab planned community of New Granada have turned to drugs and delinquency. Carl (Michael Kramer), the son of a town councilman, is an exception, but he can't seem to help falling in with a charismatic and troubled classmate, Richie (Matt Dillon). Soon after, a trigger-happy sheriff (Harry Northrup) shoots Richie, and sole witness Carl has to go on the run, eventually inciting a dramatic teenage riot.
