Weeds Blu-ray presents John Hancock’s raw and emotionally charged 1987 drama in its first-ever Blu-ray release, newly restored and director approved. Anchored by a powerful performance from Nick Nolte, the film explores incarceration, artistic expression, and the fragile possibility of redemption through an unexpectedly moving true-to-life narrative.

Lee Umstetter is serving life without parole at San Quentin when he discovers a reason to keep living: writing. His prison play, performed by fellow inmates, attracts the attention of a local drama critic and ultimately earns him a pardon. Suddenly free, Lee reunites his former cellmates and takes their story on the road, confronting the challenges of freedom while reckoning with the scars of prison life and the weight of second chances.

Directed and co-written by John Hancock, Weeds balances harsh realism with humanist empathy, drawing strength from its ensemble cast and understated storytelling. Featuring standout supporting performances from Ernie Hudson, Joe Mantegna, William Forsythe, Anne Ramsey, and Mark Rolston, the film stands as an overlooked American drama of the late 1980s, newly reappraised in this special edition.
