Fun City Edition has dated and detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of Richard Benjamin's Racing with the Moon (1984), starring Sean Penn, Elizabeth McGovern, Nicolas Cage, John Karlen, and Rutanya Alda. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on February 11.
Description: "It was 1943. And young men were counting the days before they went off to war... ." Henry "Hopper" Nash (Sean Penn) and Nicky (Nicolas Cage) are enjoying their last boyish exploits before they enter the Marines. Elizabeth McGovern portrays Penn's mysterious girlfriend. It's a sensitive, bittersweet tale of lost innocence and the trauma of growing up too fast. The result is a magic moment, brilliantly captured within the emotional crosscurrent of America's most dramatic time.
