The Substitute 30th Anniversary 4K Blu-ray

Lionsgate Home Entertainment will celebrate the 30th anniversary of Robert Mandel's The Substitute (1996) with a new 4K Blu-ray/Blu-ray combo pack release, which is scheduled to arrive on the market on March 17th.

Description: In this action-thriller favorite, now on 4K for the first time, a mercenary faces off against one of his most formidable enemies: a high school gang. Shale (Tom Berenger) is an ex-Vietnam vet reeling from a botched covert operation. Returning home, he reunites with his girlfriend, Jane (Diane Venora), a high school teacher who's hospitalized after a beating by the Kings of Destruction gang. Hunting Jane's attackers, Shale goes undercover as a substitute teacher, and uncovers a cocaine highway running through the school involving gang leader Lacas (Marc Anthony) and the school's shady principal, Rolle (Ernie Hudson). Summoning his mercenaries, Shale goes to war with the Kings of Destruction – and rival guns for hire – on the unusual battleground of a high school, but for the usual stakes: life…and death.
