Blue City arrives in a limited edition Blu-ray featuring a spot gloss slipcase designed by Sean Longmore, strictly limited to 4,000 units. A future standard edition may follow, though it is unlikely.
 
After five years drifting on the road, rebel Billy Turner returns to Blue City, the South Florida town where his father served as mayor—only to find his dad was murdered the year before. Suspecting corruption has taken hold of the coastal community, Billy vows to uncover the truth and avenge his father, no matter how dangerous it becomes. With help from his last remaining friend Joey, Joey’s sister, and police chief Reynolds, Billy takes aim at his father’s widow and a sleazy nightclub owner. But in a city this crooked, trust is a fragile thing.
 
Released near the height of the “Brat Pack” era, Blue City attempts to take its stars into grittier territory. Based on the novel by Ross Macdonald and co-written by Walter Hill and Lukas Heller, the film mixes hardboiled crime with 1980s Miami Vice energy. Featuring a score by Ry Cooder, it stars Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, David Caruso, Scott Wilson, and Paul Winfield. Vinegar Syndrome Archive presents this seedy, stylish action thriller newly scanned in 4K from its original camera negative.
